Evening Scripture Reading - Jeremiah 6:6-8

Jeremiah 6:6-8 English Standard Version

6 For thus says the Lord of hosts:

“Cut down her trees;

    cast up a siege mound against Jerusalem.

This is the city that must be punished;

    there is nothing but oppression within her.

7 As a well keeps its water fresh,

    so she keeps fresh her evil;

violence and destruction are heard within her;

    sickness and wounds are ever before me.

8 Be warned, O Jerusalem,

    lest I turn from you in disgust,

lest I make you a desolation,

    an uninhabited land.”
