Jeremías 6

Come la cisterna tiene fresche le sue acque, così ella serba fresca la sua malvagità. La violenza, e l'oppressione si odono dentro di lei: io veggo sempre gente afflitta, e straziata.

Como la fuente nunca cesa de manar sus aguas, así nunca cesa de manar su malicia; injusticia y robo se oye en ella; continuamente en mi presencia, enfermedad y herida.

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 produces its waters, so she produces her wickedness. Violence and destruction is heard in her. Sickness and wounds are continually before me.
