Jeremiah 6:6-8

New King James Version

“Cut down trees,
And build a mound against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished.
She is full of oppression in her midst.
^7 (A)As a fountain ^[a]wells up with water,
So she wells up with her wickedness.
^(B)Violence and plundering are heard in her.
Before Me continually are ^[b]grief and wounds.
⁸ Be instructed, O Jerusalem,
Lest ^(C)My soul depart from you;
Lest I make you desolate,
A land not inhabited.”
