Jeremiah 6:1-8
1“Run for cover, O sons of Benjamin; flee from Jerusalem! Sound the ram’s horn in Tekoa; send up a signal over Beth-haccherem, for disaster looms from the north, even great destruction.2Though she is beautiful and delicate, I will destroy the Daughter of Zion.13Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents all around her, each tending his own portion:4‘Prepare for battle against her; rise up, let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the daylight is fading; the evening shadows grow long.5Rise up, let us attack by night and destroy her fortresses!’”
6For this is what the LORD of Hosts says:
“Cut down the treesand raise a siege ramp against Jerusalem.This city must be punished;there is nothing but oppression in her midst.7As a well gushes its water,so she pours out her evil.Violence and destruction resound in her;sickness and wounds are ever before Me.8Be forewarned, O Jerusalem,or I will turn away from you;I will make you a desolation,a land without inhabitant.”
