Jeremiah 6:1-3
Contemporary English Version

A Warning for the People of Jerusalem

The Lord said:

6 Run for your lives,
people of Benjamin.
    Get out of Jerusalem.
Sound a trumpet in Tekoa
and light a signal fire
    in Beth-Haccherem.
Soon you will be struck
    by disaster from the north.
2 Jerusalem is a lovely pasture,
3 but shepherds will surround it
    and divided up,
then let their flocks
    eat all the grass.[a]
