| 7 | 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 gushes its water, so she pours out her evil. Violence and destruction resound in her; sickness and wounds are ever before Me. | 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. |
