But as for me, when they were sick, H2470 my clothing H3830 was sackcloth: H8242 I humbled H6031 my soul H5315 with fasting; H6685 and my prayer H8605 returned H7725 into H5921 my own bosom. H2436

I behaved H1980 myself as though he had been my friend H7453 or brother: H251 I bowed H7817 down H7817 heavily, H6957 as one that mourns H57 for his mother. H517

At the same H1931 time H6256 spoke H1696 the LORD H3068 by Isaiah H3470 the son H1121 of Amoz, H531 saying, H559 Go H3212 and loose H6605 the sackcloth H8242 from off H5921 your loins, H4975 and put H2502 off your shoe H5275 from your foot. H7272 And he did H6213 so, H3651 walking H1980 naked H6174 and barefoot. H3182

And in that day H3117 did the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 call H7121 to weeping, H1065 and to mourning, H4553 and to baldness, H7144 and to girding H2296 with sackcloth: H8242

Lament H421 like a virgin H1330 girded H2296 with sackcloth H8242 for the husband H1167 of her youth. H5271

Gird H2296 yourselves, and lament, H5594 you priests: H3548 howl, H3213 you ministers H8334 of the altar: H4196 come, H935 lie H3885 all H3885 night in sackcloth, H8242 you ministers H8334 of my God: H430 for the meat offering H4503 and the drink H5262 offering is withheld H4513 from the house H1004 of your God. H430

You make H6213 us a reproach H2781 to our neighbors, H7934 a scorn H3933 and a derision H7047 to them that are round H5439 about us.

You make H6213 us a byword H4912 among the heathen, H1471 a shaking H4493 of the head H7218 among the people. H3816

And you shall become H1961 an astonishment, H8047 a proverb, H4912 and a byword, H8148 among all H3605 nations H5971 where H834 H8033 the LORD H3068 shall lead H5090 you.

Then will I cut H3772 off Israel H3478 out of the land H127 which H834 I have given H5414 them; and this house, H1004 which H834 I have hallowed H6942 for my name, H8034 will I cast H7971 out of my sight; H6440 and Israel H3478 shall be a proverb H4912 and a byword H8148 among all H3605 people: H5971

And I will deliver H5414 them to be removed H2189 into all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 for their hurt, H7451 to be a reproach H2781 and a proverb, H4912 a taunt H8148 and a curse, H7045 in all H3605 places H4725 where H834 H8033 I shall drive H5080 them.
