Jeremiah 6:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Shepherds will advance against her with their flocks;
    they will pitch their tents all around her,
    each one grazing his own portion of the pasture.
⁴ “Prepare for war against her!
    Arise! We will attack at noon.”
“It is now too late.
    The daylight is fading,
    and the evening shadows have begun to lengthen.”
⁵ “On your feet! Let us attack by night
    and destroy her palaces.”
