The beautiful and (A)delicate one, (B)the daughter of Zion, I will destroy.
(C)Shepherds and their flocks will come to her,
They will (D)pitch their tents [a]around her,
They will pasture, each in his [b]place.
[c](E)Prepare for war against her;
Arise, and let’s [d]attack at (F)noon.
Woe to us, for the day declines,
For the shadows of the evening lengthen!
Arise, and let’s [e]attack by night
And (G)destroy her [f]palaces!’”
