Jeremiah 6:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵ Arise, and let us attack by night,
    and let us destroy her citadel fortresses.”
⁶ For thus says Yahweh of hosts,
    “Cut down trees and heap up a siege ramp against Jerusalem.
This is the city that must be punished,
    its oppression is in its midst.
⁷ As a water well keeps its water cool,
    so she keeps cool her wickedness.
Violence and destruction are heard within her,
    sickness and wounds^[a] are continually before me.^[b]
