So get up! We will attack at night.
    We will destroy ·the strong towers [L its palaces]!”

This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says:

“Cut down the trees [C around Jerusalem],
    and ·build an attack ramp to the top of its walls [throw up a siege ramp].
This city must be punished.
    Inside it is nothing but ·slavery [oppression]
Jerusalem ·pours out her evil [keeps its wickedness fresh]
    as a well ·pours out its water [keeps its water fresh]
The sounds of violence and destruction are heard within her.
    I can see the sickness and hurts ·of Jerusalem [always before me].
