The lovely and delicately bred I will destroy,
    (A)the daughter of Zion.[a]
(B)Shepherds with their flocks shall come against her;
    (C)they shall pitch their tents around her;
    they shall pasture, each in his place.
(D)“Prepare war against her;
    arise, and let us attack (E)at noon!
Woe to us, for the day declines,
    for the shadows of evening lengthen!
