Jeremiah 6:6-12

6This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Cut down the trees and build siege ramps against Jerusalem. This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression.

7As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.

8Take warning, Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you and make your land desolate so no one can live in it.”

9This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Let them glean the remnant of Israel as thoroughly as a vine; pass your hand over the branches again, like one gathering grapes.”

10To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed Hebrew uncircumcised so they cannot hear. The word of the LORD is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it.

11But I am full of the wrath of the LORD, and I cannot hold it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years.

12Their houses will be turned over to others, together with their fields and their wives, when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land,” declares the LORD .
