Jeremiah 6:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ We'll attack by night; we'll destroy the city's fortresses.”

⁶ The Lord Almighty has ordered these kings to cut down trees and build mounds in order to besiege Jerusalem. He has said, “I will punish this city because it is full of oppression. ⁷ As a well keeps its water fresh, so Jerusalem keeps its evil fresh. I hear violence and destruction in the city; sickness and wounds are all I see.
