Jeremiah 6:7

Like the casting forth by a well of its waters, So, hath she cast forth her wickedness,—Violence and destruction, are heard in her, Before my face, continually, are suffering and smiting.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

6For, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Cut ye down timber, And cast up, against Jerusalem a mound,—That, is the city to be punished! There is, nothing, but oppression in her midst;

8Receive thou correction O Jerusalem, Lest my soul be torn from thee,—Lest I make thee A desolation, A land not habitable.

( b. c. 608.) 1 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth-haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction. 2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. 3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place. 4… Read the whole commentary →
