Jer 6:7, 23:14, Mat 23:37-38 | ESV | STEP | As a well keeps its water fresh , so she keeps fresh her evil ; violence and destruction are heard within her; sickness and wounds are ever before me.

Jeremiah 6:7

7 ^aAs a well keeps its water fresh,
so she keeps fresh her evil;
^bviolence and destruction are heard within her;
sickness and wounds are ever before me.

Jeremiah 23:14

14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
^cthey commit adultery and walk in lies;
^dthey strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
^eall of them have become like Sodom to me,
^fand its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”

Matthew 23:37-38

Lament over Jerusalem

37 ^g“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that ^hkills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have ⁱgathered ^jyour children together ^kas a hen gathers her brood ^lunder her wings, and ^myou were not willing! 38 See, ⁿyour house is left to you desolate.
