“Up then and on by night, 5
That we ruin her palaces!”
For thus said the Lord of Hosts: 6
Hew down her[243] trees and heap
Against Jerusalem a mound;
Woe to the City of Falsehood,[244]
Nought but oppression within her!
As a well keeps its waters fresh 7
She keeps fresh her evil;
Violence and spoil are heard throughout her,
