Jeremiah 6:4-6

Revised Standard Version

⁴ “Prepare war against her;
    up, and let us attack at noon!”
“Woe to us, for the day declines,
    for the shadows of evening lengthen!”
⁵ “Up, and let us attack by night,
    and destroy her palaces!”

“Hew down her trees;
    cast up a siege mound against Jerusalem.
This is the city which must be punished;
    there is nothing but oppression within her.
