2 I will destroy Daughter Zion,

so beautiful and delicate.

3 Shepherds with their flocks will come against her;

they will pitch their tents around her,

each tending his own portion.”

2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. 3 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.

2 O Jerusalem, you are my beautiful and delicate daughter—

but I will destroy you!

3 Enemies will surround you, like shepherds camped around the city.

Each chooses a place for his troops to devour.

2 I have likened the daughter of Zion

To a lovely and delicate woman.

3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her.

They shall pitch their tents against her all around.

Each one shall pasture in his own place.”

2 Jerusalem, I will destroy you,

you who are fragile and gentle.

3 Shepherds with their flocks will come against Jerusalem.

They will set up their tents all around her,

each shepherd taking care of his own section.”

2 The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off. 3 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.

2 The comely and delicate one do I cut off, the daughter of Zion. 3 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.

2 “My people Zion are like lovely pastures. 

3 With their flocks, shepherds will come to them, 

pitch their tents all around them, 

and each of them will tend his own flock. 

2 Though she is beautiful and delicate,

I will destroy Daughter Zion.

3 Shepherds and their flocks will come against her;

they will pitch their tents all around her.

Each will pasture his own portion.

2 I have likened daughter Zion

to the loveliest pasture.

3 Shepherds with their flocks shall come against her.

They shall pitch their tents around her;

they shall pasture, all in their places.

2 The lovely and the delicate,

the daughter of Jerusalem, I will destroy.

3 Shepherds and their flocks will come against her,

they will pitch their tents against her all around,

they will pasture, each his portion.

2 I will destroy the city of Zion,

even though it is very beautiful.

3 Shepherds will come against it with their flocks.

They will set up their tents around it.

All of them will take care of their own sheep.”

2 “The comely and dainty one, the daughter of Zion, I will cut off.

3 “Shepherds and their flocks will come to her,

They will pitch their tents around her,

They will pasture each in his place.
