Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses.

For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hew down her trees, cast up a trench about Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited, all oppression is 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.
