Shepherds and their flocks will come against her;
they will pitch their tents all around her.(A)
Each will pasture his own portion.
Set them apart for war(B) against her;
rise up, let’s attack at noon.
Woe to us, for the day is passing;
the evening shadows grow long.
Rise up, let’s attack by night.
Let us destroy her fortresses.”

    and the shadows of evening grow long.
So arise, let us attack at night
    and destroy her fortresses!”
