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

and make you a desolation,

    the remnant of Israel;
like a grape-gatherer, pass your hand again
    over its branches.
