Jeremiah 6:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Kings will come to attack the city.
    They will bring their armies,
    like shepherds with their sheep.
They will make their camps all around the city.
    Each of them will take their own piece of land.
⁴ They will say to their soldiers,
    ‘Get ready to attack the city!
    We will attack at noon!’
But if the day is almost finished, they will say,
    ‘It is already evening and it will soon be dark.
⁵ So we should attack them in the night.
    We will destroy all their strong buildings!’
