Jeremiah 6:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

²Jerusalem,^[a] you are like a beautiful meadow.^[b]
    But I will destroy you!
³Enemy shepherds will surround you
    with all their flocks.
They will set up their tents all around you,
    and each one will let his sheep eat the grass.

⁴“Get ready to fight against Jerusalem.
Get up! We will attack the city at noon.
But it is already getting late.
The evening shadows are growing long.
