Jeremiah 6:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ “Prepare war against her;
    arise, and let us go up at noon.”
“Woe to us, for the day declines,
    for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.”
⁵ “Arise, and let us go by night
    and let us destroy her palaces.”

Hew down trees
    and build a mound against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished.
    She is full of oppression in her midst.
