Jeremiah 6:1-8

Jerusalem Under Siege: The Warning

Jeremiah 6:1-8
1
“Run for cover, O sons of Benjamin; flee from Jerusalem! Sound the ram’s horn in Tekoa; send up a signal over Beth-haccherem, for disaster looms from the north, even great destruction.
2
Though she is beautiful and delicate, I will destroy the Daughter of Zion.
3
Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents all around her, each tending his own portion:
4
‘Prepare for battle against her; rise up, let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the daylight is fading; the evening shadows grow long.
5
Rise up, let us attack by night and destroy her fortresses!’”
6
For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Cut down the trees and raise a siege ramp against Jerusalem. This city must be punished; there is nothing but oppression in her midst.
7
As a well gushes its water, so she pours out her evil. Violence and destruction resound in her; sickness and wounds are ever before Me.
8
Be forewarned, O Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you; I will make you a desolation, a land without inhabitant.”
