Jeremiah 6:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

“^(A)Cut down her trees
And cast up a ^(B)siege against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished,
In whose midst there is only ^(C)oppression.
⁷ “^(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 ever before Me.
⁸ “^(G)Be warned, O Jerusalem,
Or ^[c](H)I shall be alienated from you,
And make you a desolation,
A land not inhabited.”
