Jeremiah 6 — Context

Go in flight out of Jerusalem, so that you may be safe, you children of Benjamin, and let the horn be sounded in Tekoa, and the flag be lifted up on Beth-haccherem: for evil is looking out from the north, and a great destruction.

The fair and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will be cut off by my hand.

Keepers of sheep with their flocks will come to her; they will put up their tents round her; everyone will get food in his place.

Make war ready against her; up! let us go up when the sun is high. Sorrow is ours! for the day is turned and the shades of evening are stretched out.

Up! let us go up by night, and send destruction on her great houses.
