Jeremiah 6:6-8

Names of God Bible

Cut down its trees.
    Build up dirt mounds to attack Jerusalem.
    This city must be punished.
        There is nothing but oppression in it.
⁷ As a well keeps its water fresh,
    so Jerusalem keeps its evil fresh.
        Violence and destruction can be heard in it.
            I see that it is sick and wounded.
⁸ Pay attention to my warning, Jerusalem,
    or I will turn away from you.
    I will make your land desolate,
    a land where no one will live.
