Jeremiah 6:2

Read in context

Jeremiah 6:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 “Run for cover, O sons of Benjamin; flee from Jerusalem! Sound the ram’s horn in Tekoa; send up a signal over Beth-haccherem, for disaster looms from the north, even great destruction.

2 Though she is beautiful and delicate, I will destroy the Daughter of Zion.

3 Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents all around her, each tending his own portion:

4 ‘Prepare for battle against her; rise up, let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the daylight is fading; the evening shadows grow long.
