Jeremiah 6:5-7
International Standard Version
5 Get ready, let’s attack at night,
and destroy her fortresses.”[a]
Instructions for the Attackers
6 For this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says:
“Cut down trees and
set up siege works against Jerusalem.
It is the city to be judged,
and there is oppression throughout the entire city.[b]
7 As a well keeps its waters fresh,[c]
so the city[d] keeps her wickedness fresh.[e]
Violence and destruction are heard in her,
sickness and wounds are always before me.
