Jeremiah 6:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 “Up, and let us attack by night,
and destroy her palaces!”(A)
6 For thus says the Lord of hosts:
Cut down her trees;
cast up a siege ramp against Jerusalem.
This is the city that must be punished;[a]
there is nothing but oppression within her.(B)
7 As a well keeps its water fresh,
so she keeps fresh her wickedness;
violence and destruction are heard within her;
sickness and wounds are ever before me.(C)
