Jeremiah 6:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ See them prepare for battle. At noon it has begun. All afternoon it rages until the evening shadows fall. ⁵ “Come,” they say. “Let us attack by night and destroy her palaces!”

⁶ For the Lord Almighty has said to them, Cut down her trees for battering rams; smash down the walls of Jerusalem. This is the city to be punished, for she is vile through and through.
