Jeremiah 6:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³ Shepherds with their flocks shall come against her.
    They shall pitch their tents around her;
    they shall pasture, all in their places.
⁴ ‘Prepare war against her;
    up, and let us attack at noon!’
‘Woe to us, for the day declines,
    the shadows of evening lengthen!’
⁵ ‘Up, and let us attack by night,
    and destroy her palaces!’
