.replaceWith replace to function

I'm trying to use .replaceWith to replace words to a function but it's not working I think the problem is that I didn't right the function correct but I don't know how to write it right. Can Anybody help me (it's only a miniscule.) Thank you.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.min.js">  
<html>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript">

var d=new Date();
var weekday=new Array(7);
weekday[0]="Monday";
weekday[1]="Tuesday";
weekday[2]="Wednesday";
weekday[3]="Thursday";
weekday[4]="Friday";
weekday[5]="Monday";
weekday[6]="Monday";


</script>


<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function($){  
    $('div.Shipby').replaceWith(function(){
        return $("<div>").text("Orders placed now will ship " + weekday[d.getDay()]);
    }); 
}); 

</script>

    <div class="Shipby">
         Tomorrow.
    </div>
</body>
</html>

As Blender said, it sounds like it would be easier to just update the text or html, but if you want to use replaceWith, you can do it like this:

$(document).ready(function($){  
    $("div.Shipby").replaceWith(function(){
        return $("<div>").text("Orders placed now will ship " + weekday[d.getDay()]);
    }); 
});

Just set the text():

$('div.Shipby').text("Orders placed now will ship " + weekday[d.getDay()]);

Or the html() if you plan on including HTML in your string:

$('div.Shipby').html("Orders placed now will ship " + weekday[d.getDay()]);

There's no need for using document.write().
