As a well produces its waters, so she produces her wickedness. Violence and destruction is heard in her. Sickness and wounds are continually before me. Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you, lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.”

Yahweh of Armies says, “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Turn again your hand as a grape gatherer 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.”

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.”
