Jeremiah 6:1-7

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 "Flee for safety, O sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem! Now blow a trumpet in Tekoa And raise a signal over Beth-haccerem; For evil looks down from the north, And a great destruction.

2 "The comely and dainty one, the daughter of Zion, I will cut off.

3 "Shepherds and their flocks will come to her, They will pitch their tents around her, They will pasture each in his place.

4 "Prepare war against her; Arise, and let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the day declines, For the shadows of the evening lengthen!

5 "Arise, and let us attack by night And destroy her palaces!"

6 For thus says the LORD of hosts, "Cut down her trees And cast up a siege against Jerusalem. This is the city to be punished, In whose midst there is only oppression.

7 "As a well keeps its waters fresh, So she keeps fresh her wickedness. Violence and destruction are heard in her; Sickness and wounds are ever before Me.

3 Shepherds with their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents around her, each tending his own portion.”

5 So arise, let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses!”
