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.

The verse 7 is found in chapter 6 of Jeremiah. Jerusalem is compared to a fountain from which violence and corruption flow. The enemy prepares to attack and the city appears as an object of judgment. The invitation to correct itself introduces one final possibility of repentance before calamity reaches its fullness.

Denn gleichwie ein Born sein Wasser quillt, also quillt auch ihre Bosheit. Ihr Frevel und Gewalt schreit über sie, und ihr Morden und Schlagen treiben sie täglich vor mir.
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.
Como un pozo hace brotar sus aguas, así ella hace brotar su maldad. En ella se oyen violencia y destrucción; ante mí hay continuamente enfermedad y heridas.
Comme un puits fait jaillir ses eaux, Ainsi elle fait jaillir sa méchanceté; Il n'est bruit en son sein que de violence et de ruine; Sans cesse à mes regards s'offrent la douleur et les plaies.
Come la fonte del pozzo sgorga le sue acque, così quella sgorga la sua malvagità; violenza e guasto si sentono in lei; vi è del continuo davanti alla mia faccia doglia e percossa.
Como a fonte produz as suas águas, assim ela produz a sua malícia; violência e estrago se ouvem nela; enfermidade e feridas há diante de mim continuamente.
井怎樣湧出水來, 這城也照樣湧出惡來; 其中常聽聞殘暴毀滅的事, 病痛損傷也常在我面前。
