Jeremiah 6:1-4

1“Run for your lives, you people of Benjamin! Get out of Jerusalem! Sound the alarm in Tekoa! Send up a signal at Beth-hakkerem! A powerful army is coming from the north, coming with disaster and destruction.

2O Jerusalem, you are my beautiful and delicate daughter— but I will destroy you!

3Enemies will surround you, like shepherds camped around the city. Each chooses a place for his troops to devour.

4They shout, ‘Prepare for battle! Attack at noon!’ ‘No, it’s too late; the day is fading, and the evening shadows are falling.’
