Jeremiah 6:8

An Invasion From The North

⁷ As a well gushes out its water,
so she pours out her evil.
Violence and destruction resound in her.
Sickness and wounds keep coming to My attention.
⁸ Be warned, Jerusalem,
or I will turn away from you;
I will make you a desolation,
a land without inhabitants. ⁹ This is what the Lord of Hosts says:

Glean the remnant of Israel
as thoroughly as a vine.
Pass your hand once more like a grape gatherer
over the branches.
