²⁰ But if you refuse to obey and if you turn against me,
    you will be destroyed by your enemies’ swords.”
The Lord himself said these things.

²¹ The city of Jerusalem once followed the Lord.
    But she is no longer loyal to the Lord.
She used to be filled with fairness.
    People there lived the way God wanted.
    But now, murderers live there.
²² Jerusalem, you have become like the scum left when silver is purified.
    You are like wine mixed with water.
