Jeremiah 6:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ “Up, and let us attack by night,
    and destroy her palaces!”

“Hew down her trees;
    cast up a siege mound against Jerusalem.
This is the city which must be punished;
    there is nothing but oppression within her.
⁷ As a well keeps its water fresh,
    so she keeps fresh her wickedness;
violence and destruction are heard within her;
    sickness and wounds are ever before me.
