Jeremiah 6:3-5

New Century Version

³ Shepherds with their flocks will come against Jerusalem.
    They will set up their tents all around her,
    each shepherd taking care of his own section.”
⁴ They say, “Get ready to fight against Jerusalem!
    Get up! We will attack at noon!
But it is already getting late;
    the evening shadows are growing long.
⁵ So get up! We will attack at night.
    We will destroy the strong towers of Jerusalem!”
