Jeremiah 6:7-9
Common English Bible
7 As a well brings forth fresh water,
she brings forth evil.
Violence and destruction are heard within her;
injury and wounds are ever before me.
8 Hear me out,[a] Jerusalem,
or else I’ll turn away from you
and reduce you to ruins,
a land unfit to live in.

9 This is what the Lord of heavenly forces says:
From top to bottom, let them harvest
the remaining few in Israel.
Pick clean every
last grape on the vine!

Jeremiah 6:7-9
New International Version
7 As a well pours out its water,
so she pours out her wickedness.
Violence(A) and destruction(B) resound in her;
her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
8 Take warning, Jerusalem,
or I will turn away(C) from you
and make your land desolate
so no one can live in it.”
9 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Let them glean the remnant(D) of Israel
as thoroughly as a vine;
pass your hand over the branches again,
like one gathering grapes.”
