As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.

Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.

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.
Take warning, Jerusalem,
    or I will turn away(C) from you
and make your land desolate
    so no one can live in it.”

“Let them glean the remnant(D) of Israel
    as thoroughly as a vine;
pass your hand over the branches again,
    like one gathering grapes.”
