[a](A)Prepare for war against her;
Arise, and let’s [b]attack at (B)noon.
Woe to us, for the day declines,
For the shadows of the evening lengthen!
Arise, and let’s [c]attack by night
And (C)destroy her [d]palaces!’”
For this is what the Lord of armies says:
(D)Cut down her trees
And pile up an (E)assault ramp against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished,
In whose midst there is only (F)oppression.
