Jeremiah 6

YHWH warns the children of Benjamin to flee Jerusalem as disaster from the north approaches, with enemy shepherds pitching tents around the delicate daughter of Zion and preparing relentless war by day and night.[1][2][3] YHWH declares judgment on Jerusalem for its oppression and rejection of His words and law, rejecting their sacrifices, laying stumbling blocks causing familial ruin, and likening unrefined Judah to rejected silver despite prophetic testing.[1][4][5]
