Jeremiah 6:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses.

⁶ For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hew down her trees, cast up a trench about Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited, all oppression is in the midst of her.

⁷ As a cistern maketh its water cold, so hath she made her wickedness cold: violence and spoil shall be heard in her, infirmity and stripes are continually before me.
