As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, So is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.
A righteous man falling down before the wicked Is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring is a righteous man who yields, falls down, and compromises his integrity before the wicked.
A righteous person giving in to the wicked is like a contaminated spring or a polluted fountain.
The just falling down before the impious is like a fountain stirred up by feet and like a corrupted spring.
A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot, and a corrupted spring.
