As a well gushes out its water, so she pours out her evil. Violence and destruction resound in her. Sickness and wounds keep coming to my attention.

井怎样涌出水来，这城也照样涌出恶来；在其间常听见有强暴毁灭的事，病患损伤也常在我面前。

井怎样涌出水来，这城也照样涌出恶来；其中常听闻残暴毁灭的事，病痛损伤也常在我面前。

井怎样涌出水来，这城也照样涌出恶来；其中常听闻残暴毁灭的事，病痛损伤也常在我面前。

她的邪恶如同泉水涌流不息，暴力和毁灭层出不穷，疾病和伤痛接连不断。

井怎樣湧出水來，這城也怎樣湧出惡來；城中常常聽到強暴和毀滅的事，在我面前不斷有病患與創傷。

水池怎樣使它的水清新，這城也怎樣使她的邪惡推陳出新；她中間常聽到有強暴和毁滅的事；創痍和損傷不斷在我面前。

彼肆行邪惡、如泉之湧水、強暴毀滅、聞於其間、疾病瘡痍、常在我前、

彼常行惡、如源泉混混、彼為暴虐、行強據、皆耳聞之、彼殘疾人、困苦人、我目睹之。

其邑之邪惡洶洶、若泉水之洶湧、強暴酷虐、聞於其中、殘賊傷害之事、常於我前、

As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.

Wells keep giving fresh water. And Jerusalem keeps on sinning. Its people are always fighting and causing trouble. When I look at them, I see nothing but sickness and wounds.

As a well keeps its water fresh, so she keeps fresh her evil; violence and destruction are heard within her; sickness and wounds are ever before me.

She spouts evil like a fountain. Her streets echo with the sounds of violence and destruction. I always see her sickness and sores.

As a well keeps its waters fresh, So she keeps fresh her wickedness. Violence and destruction are heard in her; Sickness and wounds are constantly before Me.

As a fountain wells up with water, So she wells up with her wickedness. Violence and plundering are heard in her. Before Me continually are grief and wounds.

As a well casteth forth its waters, so she casteth forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.

As a well gushes out its water, so she pours out her evil. Violence and destruction resound in her. Sickness and wounds keep coming to My attention.

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.

As a well continually pours out fresh water so it continually pours out wicked deeds. Sounds of violence and destruction echo throughout it. All I see are sick and wounded people.’

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.

Forge the chain, for the land is filled with crimes of bloodshed, and the city is filled with violence.

Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them will remain: none of that crowd, none of their wealth, and none of the eminent among them.

For whenever I speak, I cry out, I proclaim,“ Violence and destruction!” so the word of the LORD has become my constant disgrace and derision.

But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its water churns up mire and muck.

Blessing and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way.Does a spring pour out sweet and bitter water from the same opening?Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers and sisters, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a saltwater spring yield fresh water.

Then I said,“ Now listen, leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Aren’t you supposed to know what is just?You hate good and love evil. You tear off people’s skin and strip their flesh from their bones.You eat the flesh of my people after you strip their skin from them and break their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a cauldron.”

Faithful people have vanished from the land; there is no one upright among the people. All of them wait in ambush to shed blood; they hunt each other with a net.Both hands are good at accomplishing evil: the official and the judge demand a bribe; when the powerful man communicates his evil desire, they plot it together.

You are to say,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: A city that sheds blood within her walls so that her time of judgment has come and who makes idols for herself so that she is defiled!You are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are defiled from the idols you have made. You have brought your judgment days near and have come to your years of punishment. Therefore, I have made you a disgrace to the nations and a mockery to all the lands.Those who are near and those far away from you will mock you, you infamous one full of turmoil.“‘ Look, every prince of Israel within you has used his strength to shed blood.Father and mother are treated with contempt, and the resident alien is exploited within you. The fatherless and widow are oppressed in you.You despise my holy things and profane my Sabbaths.There are men within you who slander in order to shed blood. People who live in you eat at the mountain shrines; they commit depraved acts within you.Men within you have sexual intercourse with their father’s wife and violate women during their menstrual impurity.One man within you commits a detestable act with his neighbor’s wife; another defiles his daughter-in-law with depravity; and yet another violates his sister, his father’s daughter.People who live in you accept bribes in order to shed blood. You take interest and profit on a loan and brutally extort your neighbors. You have forgotten me. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.

Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.

Listen to this, leaders of the house of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice and pervert everything that is right,who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with injustice.Her leaders issue rulings for a bribe, her priests teach for payment, and her prophets practice divination for silver. Yet they lean on the LORD, saying,“ Isn’t the LORD among us? No disaster will overtake us.”Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become ruins, and the temple’s mountain will be a high thicket.

For the blood she shed is still within her. She put it out on the bare rock; she didn’t pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.

Woe to those who dream up wickedness and prepare evil plans on their beds! At morning light they accomplish it because the power is in their hands.They covet fields and seize them; they also take houses. They deprive a man of his home, a person of his inheritance.

But recently my people have risen up like an enemy: You strip off the splendid robe from those who are passing through confidently, like those returning from war.You force the women of my people out of their comfortable homes, and you take my blessing from their children forever.Get up and leave, for this is not your place of rest because defilement brings destruction— a grievous destruction!

Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city;day and night they make the rounds on its walls. Crime and trouble are within it;destruction is inside it; oppression and deceit never leave its marketplace.
