Jeremiah 6:1-3
Common English Bible
Prepare for war
6 Escape, people of Benjamin,
get out of Jerusalem!
Blow the trumpet in Tekoa,
sound the alarm in Beth-haccherem;
for disaster looms from the north,
massive devastation.
2 You are like a lovely pasture, Daughter Zion.[a]
3 Shepherds come to her with their flocks.
They pitch their tents around her
and graze in their place.
