ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 to me, GoH1980 and getH7069 you a linenH6593 girdle,H232 and putH7760 it on your loins,H4975 and putH7760 it not in water.H4325
2
So I gotH7069 a girdleH232 according to the wordH1697 of the LORD,H3068 and putH7760 it onH5921 my loins.H4975
3
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to me the secondH8145 time, saying,H559
4
TakeH3947 the girdleH232 that you have got,H7069 whichH834 is on your loins,H4975 and arise,H6965 goH3212 to Euphrates,H6578 and hideH2934 it thereH8033 in a holeH5357 of the rock.H5553
5
So I went,H3212 and hidH2934 it by Euphrates,H6578 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 me.
6
And it cameH1961 to pass afterH7093 manyH7227 days,H3117 that the LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, Arise,H6965 goH3212 to Euphrates,H6578 and takeH3947 the girdleH232 from there,H8033 whichH834 I commandedH6680 you to hideH2934 there.H8033
7
Then I wentH3212 to Euphrates,H6578 and dig,H2658 and tookH3947 the girdleH232 from the placeH4725 whereH834 H8033 I had hidH2934 it: and, behold,H2009 the girdleH232 was marred,H7843 it was profitableH6743 for nothing.H3808 H3605
8
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to me, saying,H559
9
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORD,H3068 AfterH3602 this mannerH3541 will I marH7843 the prideH1347 of Judah,H3063 and the greatH7227 prideH1347 of Jerusalem.H3389
10
ThisH2088 evilH7451 people,H5971 which refuseH3987 to hearH8085 my words,H1697 which walkH1980 in the imaginationH8307 of their heart,H3820 and walkH1980 afterH310 otherH312 gods,H430 to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, shall even be as thisH2088 girdle,H232 whichH834 is goodH6743 for nothing.H3808 H3605
11
For as the girdleH232 sticksH1692 to the loinsH4975 of a man,H376 soH3651 have I caused to stickH1692 to me the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of Judah,H3063 saidH5002 the LORD;H3068 that they might be to me for a people,H5971 and for a name,H8034 and for a praise,H8416 and for a glory:H8597 but they would not hear.H8085
12
Therefore you shall speakH559 to them thisH2088 word;H1697 ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 EveryH3605 bottleH5035 shall be filledH4390 with wine:H3196 and they shall sayH559 to you, Do we not certainly knowH3045 that everyH3605 bottleH5035 shall be filledH4390 with wine?H3196
13
Then shall you sayH559 to them, ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORD,H3068 Behold,H2005 I will fillH4390 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of this land,H776 even the kingsH4428 that sitH3427 on David'sH1732 throne,H3678 and the priests,H3548 and the prophets,H5030 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of Jerusalem,H3389 with drunkenness.H7943
14
And I will dashH5310 them oneH376 againstH413 another,H251 even the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 together,H3162 saidH5002 the LORD:H3068 I will not pity,H2550 norH3808 spare,H2347 norH3808 have mercy,H7355 but destroyH7843 them.
15
HearH8085 you, and give ear;H238 be not proud:H1341 for the LORDH3068 has spoken.H1696
16
GiveH5414 gloryH3519 to the LORDH3068 your God,H430 beforeH2962 he cause darkness,H2821 and beforeH2962 your feetH7272 stumbleH5062 on the darkH5399 mountains,H2022 and, while you lookH6960 for light,H216 he turnH7760 it into the shadowH6757 of death,H6757 and makeH7896 it grossH6205 darkness.H6205
17
But ifH518 you will not hearH8085 it, my soulH5315 shall weepH1058 in secretH4565 places for your pride;H1466 and my eyeH5869 shall weepH1830 sore, and runH3381 down with tears,H1832 becauseH3588 the LORD'sH3068 flockH5739 is carriedH7617 away captive.H7617
18
SayH559 to the kingH4428 and to the queen,H1377 HumbleH8213 yourselves, sitH3427 down: for your principalitiesH4761 shall comeH3381 down,H3381 even the crownH5850 of your glory.H8597
19
The citiesH5892 of the southH5045 shall be shutH5462 up, and noneH369 shall openH6605 them: JudahH3063 shall be carriedH1540 away captiveH1540 allH3605 of it, it shall be whollyH7965 carriedH1540 away captive.H1540
20
LiftH5375 up your eyes,H5869 and beholdH7200 them that comeH935 from the north:H6828 whereH346 is the flockH5739 that was givenH5414 you, your beautifulH8597 flock?H6629
21
WhatH4100 will you sayH559 whenH3588 he shall punishH6485 you? for you have taughtH3925 them to be captains,H441 and as chiefH7218 overH5921 you: shall not sorrowsH2256 takeH270 you, as a womanH802 in travail?H3205
22
And ifH3588 you sayH559 in your heart,H3824 WhyH4069 comeH7122 theseH428 things on me? For the greatnessH7230 of your iniquityH5771 are your skirtsH7757 discovered,H1540 and your heelsH6119 made bore.H2554
23
Can the EthiopianH3569 changeH2015 his skin,H5785 or the leopardH5246 his spots?H2272 then mayH3201 you alsoH1571 do good,H3190 that are accustomedH3928 to do evil.H7489
24
Therefore will I scatterH6327 them as the stubbleH7179 that passesH5674 away by the windH7307 of the wilderness.H4057
25
ThisH2088 is your lot,H1486 the portionH4490 of your measuresH4055 from me, saidH5002 the LORD;H3068 becauseH834 you have forgottenH7911 me, and trustedH982 in falsehood.H8267
26
Therefore will I discoverH2834 your skirtsH7757 on your face,H6440 that your shameH7036 may appear.H7200
27
I have seenH7200 your adulteries,H5004 and your neighings,H4684 the lewdnessH2154 of your prostitution,H2184 and your abominationsH8251 onH5921 the hillsH1389 in the fields.H7704 WoeH188 to you, O Jerusalem!H3389 will you not be made clean?H2891 when shall it onceH5750 be?
