Jeremiah 6:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ So we should attack them in the night.
    We will destroy all their strong buildings!’
⁶ This will happen because Lord Almighty has said,
    ‘Cut down the trees around Jerusalem.
    Use them to build towers to the top of the city's walls.
I must punish Jerusalem.
    It is full of cruel people.
⁷ They never stop doing wicked things,
    like water that pours out from a spring.
It is full of the noise of violence and fights.
    Everywhere I see people who have disease and wounds.
