耶利米書6章6-8節
現代中文譯本2019
6 上主—萬軍的統帥已命令領軍的君王砍伐樹木，堆造土壘，圍攻耶路撒冷。他說：「這城充滿欺壓，我要懲罰它。
7 像水井不斷地湧出清水，這城不斷地製造新罪惡。我聽見城裡發出殘暴毀滅的聲音；我也看見病痛和傷痕。
8 耶路撒冷人哪，你們要從這些苦難吸取教訓。不然，我要丟棄你們，使你們的城荒廢，無人居住。」
ESV
6 For thus says the LORD of hosts: “Cut down her trees; cast up a siege mound against Jerusalem. This is the city that must be punished; there is nothing but oppression within her.
7 As a well keeps its water fresh, so she keeps fresh her evil; violence and destruction are heard within her; sickness and wounds are ever before me.
8 Be warned, O Jerusalem, lest I turn from you in disgust, lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.”
今天的經文中，延續了昨天主題，先知說明上主帶領仇敵來審判耶路撒冷，敵軍完全聽上主的命令，日夜攻打耶路撒冷，而上主的子民卻不聽祂的命令。前面一至七節的描述，都是為了第八節的希望。上主希望耶路撒冷可以「被糾正」成功，免得完全滅亡。
