Jeremiah 6:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 “Up! let us rush upon her by night,
destroy her palaces!”(A)
6 For thus says the Lord of hosts:
Hew down her trees,
throw up a siege mound against Jerusalem.
Woe to the city marked for punishment;
there is nothing but oppression within her!(B)
7 As a well keeps its waters fresh,
so she keeps fresh her wickedness.
Violence and destruction resound in her;
ever before me are wounds and blows.(C)
