Jeremiah 6:6-8

Authorized (King James) Version

⁶ For thus hath the Lord of hosts said,
Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem:
this is the city to be visited;
she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
⁷ As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness:
violence and spoil is heard in her;
before me continually is grief and wounds.
⁸ Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem,
lest my soul depart from thee;
lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
