³ Shepherds and their flocks will come against her.
    They’ll pitch their tents all around her,
        and every one will tend his flock in his own place.
⁴ Prepare for war against her.
    Get ready, let’s attack at noon!
How terrible for us that the day is coming to an end,^[a]
    and that the evening shadows are lengthening.
⁵ Get ready, let’s attack at night,
    and destroy her fortresses.”^[b]
