Jeremiah 6:1-5 The Message (MSG)

“Run for your lives, children of Benjamin!Get out of Jerusalem, and now!Give a blast on the ram’s horn in Blastville.Send up smoke signals from Smoketown.Doom pours out of the north—massive terror!I have likened my dear daughter Zionto a lovely meadow.Well, now ‘shepherds’ from the north have discovered herand brought in their flocks of soldiers.They’ve pitched camp all around her,and plan where they’ll ‘graze.’And then, ‘Prepare to attack! The fight is on!To arms! We’ll strike at noon!Oh, it’s too late? Day is dying?Evening shadows are upon us?Well, up anyway! We’ll attack by nightand tear apart her defenses stone by stone.’”
