Jeremias 6:2-6 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

2. I have likened the daughter of Sion to a beautiful and delicate woman.

3. The shepherds shall come to her with their flocks: they have pitched their tents against her round about: every one shall feed them that are under his hand.

4. Prepare ye war against her: arise, and let us go up at midday: woe unto us, for the day is declined, for the shadows of the evening are grown longer.

5. Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses.

6. For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hew down her trees, cast up a trench about Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited, all oppression is in the midst of her.
