Jeremiah 6:6-8

Lexham English Bible

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]
8 Be warned, O Jerusalem,
    lest I turn away from you in disgust,
lest I make you a desolation,
    a land that is not inhabited.”
