Jeremiah 6:6-8

King James Version

⁶For thus hath the Lord of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.

⁷As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.

⁸Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.

Jeremiah 6:6-8

New International Version

⁶This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Cut down the trees^(A)
    and build siege ramps^(B) against Jerusalem.
This city must be punished;
    it is filled with oppression.^(C)
⁷As a well pours out its water,
    so she pours out her wickedness.
Violence^(D) and destruction^(E) resound in her;
    her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
⁸Take warning, Jerusalem,
    or I will turn away^(F) from you
and make your land desolate
    so no one can live in it.”

⁶For thus has the Lord of hosts said:

“Cut down trees,
And build a mound against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished.

So she wells up with her wickedness.
^(B)Violence and plundering are heard in her.
Before Me continually are ^[b]grief and wounds.
⁸Be instructed, O Jerusalem,
Lest ^(C)My soul depart from you;
Lest I make you desolate,
A land not inhabited.”
