Jeremiah 6:2-4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² The comely and delicately bred I will destroy,
    the daughter of Zion.
³ Shepherds with their flocks shall come against her;
    they shall pitch their tents around her,
    they shall pasture, each in his place.
⁴ “Prepare war against her;
    up, and let us attack at noon!”
“Woe to us, for the day declines,
    for the shadows of evening lengthen!”
