Jeremiah 6:5-7

International Children’s Bible

“Cut down the trees around Jerusalem.
    Build an attack ramp to the top of Jerusalem’s walls.
This city must be punished!
    Inside this city is nothing but slavery.
⁷ Jerusalem pours out her evil
    as a well pours out its water.
The sounds of violence and destruction are heard within her.
    I can see the sickness and hurts of Jerusalem.
