As a well brings forth fresh water,
    she brings forth evil.
Violence and destruction are heard within her;
    injury and wounds are ever before me.
Hear me out,[a] Jerusalem,
    or else I’ll turn away from you
        and reduce you to ruins,
        a land unfit to live in.

From top to bottom, let them harvest
    the remaining few in Israel.
        Pick clean every
        last grape on the vine!
