I went on to the Fountain Gate and the King’s Pool, but farther down it became too narrow for my animal to go through.

Shallun son of Col-hozeh, ruler over the district of Mizpah, repaired the Fountain Gate. He rebuilt it and roofed it. Then he installed its doors, bolts, and bars. He also made repairs to the wall of the Pool of Shelah near the king’s garden, as far as the stairs that descend from the city of David.

At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the city of David on the ascent of the wall and went above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.

for with You is life’s fountain.
In Your light we will see light.

Praise God in the assemblies;
praise the Lord from the fountain of Israel.

Let your fountain be blessed,
and take pleasure in the wife of your youth.

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

A wise man’s instruction is a fountain of life,
turning people away from the snares of death.

The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
turning people away from the snares of death.

Insight is a fountain of life for its possessor,
but the discipline of fools is folly.

The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters,
a flowing river, a fountain of wisdom.

For My people have committed a double evil:
They have abandoned Me,
the fountain of living water,
and dug cisterns for themselves,
cracked cisterns that cannot hold water.

If my head were a spring of water,
my eyes a fountain of tears,
I would weep day and night
over the slain of my dear people.

Lord, the hope of Israel,
all who abandon You
will be put to shame.
All who turn away from Me
will be written in the dirt,
for they have abandoned
the Lord, the fountain of living water.

Therefore, this is what the Lord says:

I am about to plead your case
and take vengeance on your behalf;
I will dry up her sea
and make her fountain run dry.

“On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the residents of Jerusalem, to wash away sin and impurity.
