Yahweh of hosts says this

Jeremiah often uses these words to introduce an important message from Yahweh.

Cut her trees

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" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification)

heap up siegeworks against Jerusalem

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.

because it is filled with oppression

Here "it is filled with oppression" represents people there always oppressing people. Alternate translation: "because its people are always oppressing each other" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
