Jeremiah

⁵Arise! Let’s go up by night, and let’s destroy her palaces.” ⁶For the Lord of Hosts said, “Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. This is the city to be visited. She is wholly oppression within herself. ⁷As a well produces its waters, so she produces her wickedness. Violence and destruction is heard in her. Sickness and wounds are continually before me. ⁸Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.” ⁹the Lord of Hosts says, “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Turn again your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.” ¹⁰To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Behold, the Lord’s word has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it. ¹¹Therefore I am full of the Lord’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in.“Pour it out on the children in the street,and on the assembly of young men together;for even the husband with the wife will be taken,the aged with him who is full of days.
