Jeremiah 6:7 CPDV

⁵  'Rise up, and let us ascend in the night, and let us destroy her houses.'

⁶  For thus says the Lord of hosts: 'Cut down her trees, and build a rampart around Jerusalem. This is the city of visitation! Every kind of false claim is in her midst.

⁷  Just as a cistern makes its water cold, so has she made her wickedness cold. Iniquity and devastation will be heard in her; sickness and wounds will be ever before me.

⁸  O Jerusalem, accept instruction, lest perhaps my soul may withdraw from you; lest perhaps I may set you in a desert, in an uninhabitable land.'

⁹  Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'They will gather the remnant of Israel, even as a single cluster of grapes is gathered from a vine. Direct your hand, as a grape-gatherer directs his hand to the basket.
