Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.

For thus hath Jehovah of hosts said: Hew ye down trees, and cast a mound against Jerusalem. She is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.

So arise, let us attack at night
    and destroy her fortresses!”

This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Cut down the trees(A)
    and build siege ramps(B) against Jerusalem.

    so she pours out her wickedness.
Violence(D) and destruction(E) resound in her;
    her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
