Jeremiah 6:3

---

← Jeremiah 6:2	Jeremiah 6:3 (KJV)	Jeremiah 6:4 →
I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman].	The 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.	Prepare 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.
