For this is what the Lord of Hosts says:

Cut down the trees;(A)
raise a siege ramp against Jerusalem.
This city must be punished.
There is nothing but oppression within her.(B)
As a well gushes out its water,
so she pours out her evil.[a]
Violence and destruction(C) resound in her.
Sickness and wounds keep coming to My attention.
Be warned, Jerusalem,
or I will turn away from you;(D)
I will make you a desolation,
a land without inhabitants.(E)
