Jeremiah 6:3-5

Good News Translation

³ kings will camp there with their armies. They will pitch their tents around the city, and each of them will camp wherever they want. ⁴ They will say, “Prepare to attack Jerusalem! Get ready! We'll attack at noon!” But then they will say, “It's too late, the day is almost over, and the evening shadows are growing long. ⁵ We'll attack by night; we'll destroy the city's fortresses.”
