ThisH1931 is the cityH5892 to be punishedH6485, In whose midstH7130 there is onlyH3605 20oppressionH6233.721As a wellH953 22keepsH7174 its watersH4325 freshH7174, SoH3651 she 23keepsH7174 freshH7174 her wickednessH7463. 24ViolenceH2555 and destructionH7701 are heardH8085 in her; 25SicknessH2483 and woundsH4347 are everH8548 beforeH5921H6440 Me.826Be warnedH3256, O JerusalemH3389, OrH6435 2728I shall be alienatedH3363 from you, And makeH7760 you a desolationH8077, A landH776 not inhabitedH3427.”
