In your large assemblies praise God, the Lord, in the assemblies of Israel!

The teaching of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the speech of the wicked conceals violence.

Instruction from the wise is like a life-giving fountain, to turn a person from deadly snares.

“Do so because my people have committed a double wrong: they have rejected me, the fountain of life-giving water, and they have dug cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns which cannot even hold water.”

Even though he flourishes like a reed plant, a scorching east wind will come, a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert. As a result, his spring will dry up; his well will become dry. That wind will spoil all his delightful foods in the containers in his storehouse.
