Jeremiah 6:5

An Invasion From The North

⁴ “Prepare war against her;
Arise, and let us attack at noon.
Woe to us, for the day declines,
For the shadows of the evening lengthen!
⁵ “Arise, and let us attack by night
And destroy her palaces!”
⁶ For thus says the Lord of hosts,
“Cut down her trees
And cast up a siege against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished,
In whose midst there is only oppression.
