6:6 All of this is because 1 the Lord who rules over all 2 has said:
‘Cut down the trees around Jerusalem
and build up a siege ramp against its walls. 3
This is the city which is to be punished. 4
Nothing but oppression happens in it. 5
6:7 As a well continually pours out fresh water
so it continually pours out wicked deeds. 6
Sounds of violence and destruction echo throughout it. 7
All I see are sick and wounded people.’ 8
