Jeremiah 6:1-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

6 “Run for cover,^(A) Benjaminites,
out of Jerusalem!
Sound the ram’s horn^(B) in Tekoa;^(C)
raise a smoke signal^(D) over Beth-haccherem,^[a]
for disaster threatens from the north,^(E)
even great destruction.
² Though she is beautiful and delicate,
I will destroy^[b] Daughter Zion.
³ Shepherds and their flocks will come against her;
they will pitch their tents all around her.^(F)
Each will pasture his own portion.
⁴ Set them apart for war^(G) against her;
rise up, let’s attack at noon.
Woe to us, for the day is passing;
the evening shadows grow long.
⁵ Rise up, let’s attack by night.
Let us destroy her fortresses.”
