Jerusalem,[a] you are like a beautiful meadow.[b]
    But I will destroy you!
Enemy shepherds will surround you
    with all their flocks.
They will set up their tents all around you,
    and each one will let his sheep eat the grass.

“Get ready to fight against Jerusalem.
    Get up! We will attack the city at noon.
But it is already getting late.
    The evening shadows are growing long.
