Jeremiah 6:3-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
3Shepherds and their flocks will come to her, They will pitch their tents around her, They will pasture, each in his place. 4‘ Prepare for war against her; Arise, and let’s attack at noon. Woe to us, for the day declines, For the shadows of the evening lengthen! 5Arise, and let’s attack by night And destroy her palaces!’?' 6For this is what the Lord of armies says: 'Cut down her trees And pile up an assault ramp against Jerusalem. This is the city to be punished, In whose midst there is only oppression.King James Version
Chapter 6
3The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place. 4Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out. 5Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces. 6For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
3Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents all around her. Each will pasture his own portion. 4Set them apart for war against her; rise up, let's attack at noon. Woe to us, for the day is passing; the evening shadows grow long. 5Rise up, let's attack by night. Let's destroy her fortresses."New Living Translation

3Enemies will surround you, like shepherds camped around the city. Each chooses a place for his troops to devour. 4They shout, ‘Prepare for battle! Attack at noon!’ ‘No, it’s too late; the day is fading, and the evening shadows are falling.’ 5‘Well then, let’s attack at night and destroy her palaces!’'English Standard Version
