Jeremiah 6:2-4
New King James Version
2 I have likened the daughter of Zion
To a lovely and delicate woman.
3 The (A)shepherds with their flocks shall come to her.
They shall pitch their tents against her all around.
Each one shall pasture in his own place.”
4 “Prepare(B) war against her;
Arise, and let us go up (C)at noon.
Woe to us, for the day goes away,
For the shadows of the evening are lengthening.
Jeremiah 6:2-4
English Standard Version
2 The lovely and delicately bred I will destroy,
(A)the daughter of Zion.[a]
3 (B)Shepherds with their flocks shall come against her;
(C)they shall pitch their tents around her;
they shall pasture, each in his place.
4 (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!
