As the digging of a well, is [for] its waters, So she hath digged [for] her wickedness, Violence and spoil is heard in her, Before My face continually [are] sickness and smiting.

Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul be alienated from thee, Lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited.

Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: They surely glean, as a vine, the remnant of Israel, Put back thy hand, as a gatherer to 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.”
