Jeremiah 6:6-8

6This will happen because Lord Almighty has said, ‘Cut down the trees around Jerusalem. Use them to build towers to the top of the city's walls. I must punish Jerusalem. It is full of cruel people.

7They never stop doing wicked things, like water that pours out from a spring. It is full of the noise of violence and fights. Everywhere I see people who have disease and wounds.

8Listen to me as I warn you, Jerusalem. If not, I will turn away from you. I will destroy you completely. Nobody will live on your land any more.’
