As a well gushes out its water,
so she pours out her evil.[a]
Violence and destruction(A) resound in her.
Sickness and wounds keep coming to my attention.
Be warned, Jerusalem,
or I will turn away from you;(B)
I will make you a desolation,
a land without inhabitants.(C)

Wrath on Israel

This is what the Lord of Armies says:

Glean the remnant of Israel(D)
as thoroughly as a vine.
Pass your hand once more like a grape gatherer
over the branches.
