This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Cut down the trees(A)
    and build siege ramps(B) against Jerusalem.
This city must be punished;
    it is filled with oppression.(C)
As a well pours out its water,
    so she pours out her wickedness.
Violence(D) and destruction(E) resound in her;
    her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
Take warning, Jerusalem,
    or I will turn away(F) from you
and make your land desolate
    so no one can live in it.”

As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.

Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
