For this is what the Lord of armies says:
(A)Cut down her trees
And pile up an (B)assault ramp against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished,
In whose midst there is only (C)oppression.
(D)As a well [a]keeps its waters fresh,
So she [b]keeps fresh her wickedness.
(E)Violence and destruction are heard in her;
(F)Sickness and wounds are constantly before Me.
(G)Be warned, Jerusalem,
Or [c](H)I shall be alienated from you,
And make you a desolation,
An uninhabited land.”
