4 Set them apart for waru against her;

rise up, let’s attack at noon.

Woe to us, for the day is passing;

the evening shadows grow long.

5 Rise up, let’s attack by night.

Let’s destroy her fortresses.”

6 For this is what the Lord of Armies says:

Cut down the trees;v

raise a siege ramp against Jerusalem.

This city must be punished.

There is nothing but oppression within her.w
