Jeremiah 6:1-8

Jerusalem Under Siege: The Warning

Jeremiah 6:1-8
1
“Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the shofar in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem; for evil looks out from the north, and a great destruction.
2
The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
3
Shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her all around; they shall feed everyone in his place.”
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 up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.”
6
For the LORD of Hosts said, “Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
7
As a well produces its waters, so she produces her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.
8
Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, a land not inhabited.”
