Jeremiah 6:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ “Prepare for battle against her;
    get ready; let’s attack by noon!
Oh, no! Daylight is fading,
    and the evening shadows lengthen.
⁵ Get ready, let’s attack by night
    and destroy her fortresses!”
⁶ The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims:
Cut down her trees,
    and build siege ramps against Jerusalem.
This city must be held accountable,^[a]
    for there’s nothing but oppression in her midst.
