The day is almost over and the shadows of evening are getting long. 5 So come on, let's go ahead and attack it by night and destroy all its fortified buildings.' 6 All of this is because the Lord who rules over all has said: 'Cut down the trees around Jerusalem and build up a siege ramp against its walls. This is the city which is to be punished. Nothing but oppression happens in it.
