Jeremiah 6:6-8
Easy-to-Read Version
6 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says:
“Cut down the trees around Jerusalem,
and build a siege mound[a] against it.
This city should be punished
because inside there is no justice—only slavery.
7 As a well keeps its water fresh,
so Jerusalem keeps its wickedness fresh.
I hear about the robbing and violence in this city all the time.
I see nothing but pain and sickness there all the time.
8 Listen to this warning, Jerusalem,
or I will turn my back on you.
I will make your land an empty desert.
No one will be able to live there.”
