Jeremiah 6:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 Against her, shepherds come with their flocks;[a]
all around, they pitch their tents against her;
each one grazes his portion.(A)
4 “Prepare for war against her,
Up! let us rush upon her at midday!”
“Woe to us! the day is waning,
evening shadows lengthen!”
5 “Up! let us rush upon her by night,
destroy her palaces!”(B)
