Jeremiah 6:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ Prepare yourselves for war against her [they cry]; up, let us attack her at noon! But alas, the day declines, the evening shadows lengthen.

⁵ Arise, let us go by night and destroy her palaces!

⁶ For the Lord of hosts has said, Hew down her trees and cast up a siege mound against Jerusalem. This is the city which must be punished; there is nothing but oppression within her.
