Jeremiah 6:4-6

Amplified Bible

⁴
“[They shout], ‘Prepare for war against her;
Arise, let us [take her by surprise and] attack her at noon.
But alas, the daylight pales,
The evening shadows grow long.
⁵
‘Arise, let us [awaken to] attack her at night
And destroy her [fortified] palaces!’”

⁶For the Lord of hosts has said,

“Cut down her trees
And build a siege [mound] against Jerusalem.
This is the city which must be punished;
There is nothing but oppression inside her [walls].
