God says this to the army that will attack Jerusalem. The word “her” refers to Jerusalem; cities were often spoken of as if they were women. Alternate translation: “Cut down the trees outside of Jerusalem”

(Occurrence 0) heap up siegeworks against Jerusalem

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/messengers cut_down trees and,pour_out on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yerushalayim siege_ramp she/it the=city punished of_it_of,all oppression in,midst_of,its )

Siegeworks are either high mounds of dirt or high ramps made of wood that the enemies build outside the city wall in order go on top of the wall and attack the people inside the city.

Here “it is filled with oppression” represents people there always oppressing people. Alternate translation: “because its people are always oppressing each other”
