6For thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Cut down trees, and heap up a siege ramp against Jerusalem. This is the city that must be punished; there is nothing but oppression within her.”

7As a well brings forth water, so she brings forth evil. Violence and destruction are heard within her; sickness and wounds are continually before me.

8Accept correction, Jerusalem, lest my soul become estranged from you, lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.

9Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine; pass your hand over the branches again like a grape-gatherer.”
