“Though she is beautiful and delicate, I will destroy the Daughter of Zion.”
Jeremiah 6:2 (BSB)
Context Reading
1“Run for cover, O sons of Benjamin; flee from Jerusalem! Sound the ram’s horn in Tekoa; send up a signal over Beth-haccherem, for disaster looms from the north, even great destruction. 2Though she is beautiful and delicate, I will destroy the Daughter of Zion. 3Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents all around her, each tending his own portion: 4‘Prepare for battle against her; rise up, let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the daylight is fading; the evening shadows grow long.
