For thus has the Lord of hosts said:

“Cut down trees,
And build a mound against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished.
She is full of oppression in her midst.
(A)As a fountain [a]wells up with water,
So she wells up with her wickedness.
(B)Violence and plundering are heard in her.
Before Me continually are [b]grief and wounds.
Be instructed, O Jerusalem,
Lest (C)My soul depart from you;
Lest I make you desolate,
A land not inhabited.”

  1. Jeremiah 6:7 gushes
  2. Jeremiah 6:7 sickness

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.”
