1 Thus|strong="H3541" saith Jehovah|strong="H3068" unto|strong="H3068" me|strong="H5921", Go|strong="H1980", and|strong="H1980" buy|strong="H7069" thee|strong="H7760" a|strong="H3068" linen|strong="H6593" girdle, and|strong="H1980" put|strong="H7760" it|strong="H7760" upon|strong="H5921" thy|strong="H3068" loins|strong="H4975", and|strong="H1980" put|strong="H7760" it|strong="H7760" not|strong="H3808" in|strong="H5921" water|strong="H4325".
2 So|strong="H7760" I|strong="H5921" bought|strong="H7069" a|strong="H3068" girdle according|strong="H5921" to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5921" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068", and|strong="H3068" put|strong="H7760" it|strong="H7760" upon|strong="H5921" my|strong="H3068" loins|strong="H4975".
3 And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" came|strong="H1961" unto|strong="H3068" me|strong="H1697" the|strong="H3068" second|strong="H8145" time|strong="H8145", saying|strong="H1697",
4 Take|strong="H3947" the|strong="H5921" girdle that|strong="H6965" thou|strong="H3212" hast bought|strong="H7069", which|strong="H8033" is|strong="H8033" upon|strong="H5921" thy|strong="H3947" loins|strong="H4975", and|strong="H6965" arise|strong="H6965", go|strong="H3212" to|strong="H3212" the|strong="H5921" Euphrates|strong="H6578", and|strong="H6965" hide|strong="H2934" it|strong="H5921" there|strong="H8033" in|strong="H5921" a|strong="H3068" cleft of|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" rock|strong="H5553".
5 So|strong="H6680" I|strong="H6680" went|strong="H3212", and|strong="H3068" hid|strong="H2934" it|strong="H3068" by|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" Euphrates|strong="H6578", as|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" commanded|strong="H6680" me|strong="H6680".
6 And|strong="H6965" it|strong="H8033" came|strong="H1961" to|strong="H3068" pass|strong="H1961" after|strong="H7093" many|strong="H7227" days|strong="H3117", that|strong="H3117" Jehovah|strong="H3068" said unto|strong="H3068" me|strong="H3947", Arise|strong="H6965", go|strong="H3212" to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3947" Euphrates|strong="H6578", and|strong="H6965" take|strong="H3947" the|strong="H3947" girdle from|strong="H3947" thence|strong="H3947", which|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3117" commanded|strong="H6680" thee|strong="H3947" to|strong="H3068" hide|strong="H2934" there|strong="H8033".
7 Then|strong="H2009" I|strong="H2009" went|strong="H3212" to|strong="H3212" the|strong="H3605" Euphrates|strong="H6578", and|strong="H3212" dug|strong="H2658", and|strong="H3212" took|strong="H3947" the|strong="H3605" girdle from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H3605" place|strong="H4725" where|strong="H8033" I|strong="H2009" had|strong="H3808" hidden|strong="H2934" it|strong="H8033"; and|strong="H3212", behold|strong="H2009", the|strong="H3605" girdle was|strong="H4725" marred|strong="H7843", it|strong="H8033" was|strong="H4725" profitable|strong="H6743" for|strong="H3605" nothing|strong="H3808".
8 Then|strong="H1961" the|strong="H3068" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" came|strong="H1961" unto|strong="H3068" me|strong="H1697", saying|strong="H1697",
9 Thus|strong="H3541" saith Jehovah|strong="H3068", After this|strong="H3541" manner|strong="H3602" will|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3541" mar|strong="H7843" the|strong="H3541" pride|strong="H1347" of|strong="H3068" Judah|strong="H3063", and|strong="H3063" the|strong="H3541" great|strong="H7227" pride|strong="H1347" of|strong="H3068" Jerusalem|strong="H3389".
10 This|strong="H2088" evil|strong="H7451" people|strong="H5971", that|strong="H5971" refuse|strong="H3987" to|strong="H1980" hear|strong="H8085" my|strong="H8085" words|strong="H1697", that|strong="H5971" walk|strong="H1980" in|strong="H1980" the|strong="H3605" stubbornness|strong="H8307" of|strong="H1697" their|strong="H3605" heart|strong="H3820", and|strong="H1980" are|strong="H1992" gone|strong="H1980" after|strong="H1961" other|strong="H2088" gods|strong="H1980" to|strong="H1980" serve|strong="H5647" them|strong="H1992", and|strong="H1980" to|strong="H1980" worship|strong="H7812" them|strong="H1992", shall|strong="H5971" even|strong="H3808" be|strong="H1961" as|strong="H1697" this|strong="H2088" girdle, which|strong="H1992" is|strong="H2088" profitable|strong="H6743" for|strong="H3605" nothing|strong="H3808".
11 For|strong="H3588" as|strong="H1961" the|strong="H3605" girdle cleaveth|strong="H1692" to|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3605" loins|strong="H4975" of|strong="H1004" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H3605", so|strong="H3651" have|strong="H1961" I|strong="H3588" caused|strong="H1961" to|strong="H3478" cleave|strong="H1692" unto|strong="H3068" me|strong="H1961" the|strong="H3605" whole|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Israel|strong="H3478" and|strong="H3063" the|strong="H3605" whole|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Judah|strong="H3063", saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068"; that|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" may|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" unto|strong="H3068" me|strong="H1961" for|strong="H3588" a|strong="H3068" people|strong="H5971", and|strong="H3063" for|strong="H3588" a|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034", and|strong="H3063" for|strong="H3588" a|strong="H3068" praise|strong="H8416", and|strong="H3063" for|strong="H3588" a|strong="H3068" glory|strong="H8597": but|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" would|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" hear|strong="H8085".
12 Therefore|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3045" shalt speak|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H3068" them|strong="H3588" this|strong="H2088" word|strong="H1697": Thus|strong="H3541" saith Jehovah|strong="H3068", the|strong="H3605" God|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" Israel|strong="H3478", Every|strong="H3605" bottle|strong="H5035" shall|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3808" filled|strong="H4390" with|strong="H4390" wine|strong="H3196": and|strong="H3478" they|strong="H3588" shall|strong="H3068" say|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H3068" thee, Do|strong="H3068" we|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" certainly|strong="H3588" know|strong="H3045" that|strong="H3588" every|strong="H3605" bottle|strong="H5035" shall|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3808" filled|strong="H4390" with|strong="H4390" wine|strong="H3196"?
13 Then|strong="H4428" shalt thou|strong="H3427" say unto|strong="H3068" them|strong="H5921", Thus|strong="H3541" saith Jehovah|strong="H3068", Behold|strong="H2005", I|strong="H2005" will|strong="H3068" fill|strong="H4390" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" inhabitants|strong="H3427" of|strong="H4428" this|strong="H2063" land, even|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" kings|strong="H4428" that|strong="H3605" sit|strong="H3427" upon|strong="H5921" David|strong="H1732"’s throne|strong="H3678", and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" priests|strong="H3548", and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" prophets|strong="H5030", and|strong="H3068" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" inhabitants|strong="H3427" of|strong="H4428" Jerusalem|strong="H3389", with|strong="H4390" drunkenness|strong="H7943".
14 And|strong="H1121" I|strong="H3808" will|strong="H3068" dash|strong="H5310" them|strong="H7843" one|strong="H3808" against|strong="H3068" another|strong="H3808", even|strong="H3808" the|strong="H5002" fathers and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H5002" sons|strong="H1121" together|strong="H3162", saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068": I|strong="H3808" will|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" pity|strong="H2347", nor|strong="H3808" spare|strong="H2550", nor|strong="H3808" have|strong="H7355" compassion|strong="H7355", that|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3808" should|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" destroy|strong="H7843" them|strong="H7843".
15 Hear|strong="H8085" ye|strong="H8085", and|strong="H3068" give|strong="H1696" ear|strong="H8085"; be|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3588" proud|strong="H1361"; for|strong="H3588" Jehovah|strong="H3068" hath|strong="H3068" spoken|strong="H1696".
16 Give|strong="H5414" glory|strong="H3519" to|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068", before|strong="H2962" he|strong="H3068" cause|strong="H5414" darkness|strong="H6205", and|strong="H3068" before|strong="H2962" your|strong="H3068" feet|strong="H7272" stumble|strong="H5062" upon|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" dark|strong="H2821" mountains|strong="H2022", and|strong="H3068", while|strong="H5921" ye|strong="H7896" look|strong="H6960" for|strong="H5921" light|strong="H7760", he|strong="H3068" turn|strong="H7760" it|strong="H5414" into|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" shadow|strong="H6757" of|strong="H3068" death|strong="H6757", and|strong="H3068" make|strong="H7760" it|strong="H5414" gross darkness|strong="H6205".
17 But|strong="H3588" if|strong="H3588" ye|strong="H8085" will|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" hear|strong="H8085" it|strong="H3588", my|strong="H8085" soul|strong="H5315" shall|strong="H3068" weep|strong="H1058" in|strong="H3068" secret|strong="H4565" for|strong="H3588" your pride|strong="H1466"; and|strong="H3068" mine|strong="H6440" eye|strong="H5869" shall|strong="H3068" weep|strong="H1058" sore|strong="H1058", and|strong="H3068" run|strong="H3381" down|strong="H3381" with|strong="H3068" tears|strong="H1832", because|strong="H3588" Jehovah|strong="H3068"’s flock|strong="H5739" is|strong="H3068" taken|strong="H7617" captive|strong="H7617".
18 Say thou|strong="H3427" unto|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3588" king|strong="H4428" and|strong="H4428" to|strong="H3381" the|strong="H3588" queen|strong="H1377" mother|strong="H1377", Humble|strong="H8213" yourselves, sit|strong="H3427" down|strong="H3381"; for|strong="H3588" your|strong="H3588" headtires are|strong="H4428" come|strong="H3381" down|strong="H3381", even|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" crown|strong="H5850" of|strong="H4428" your|strong="H3588" glory|strong="H8597".
19 The|strong="H3605" cities|strong="H5892" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H3605" South|strong="H5045" are|strong="H5892" shut|strong="H5462" up|strong="H5462", and|strong="H3063" there|strong="H7965" is|strong="H3605" none|strong="H3605" to|strong="H3063" open|strong="H6605" them|strong="H1540": Judah|strong="H3063" is|strong="H3605" carried|strong="H1540" away|strong="H1540" captive|strong="H1540", all|strong="H3605" of|strong="H5892" it|strong="H1540"; it|strong="H1540" is|strong="H3605" wholly|strong="H7965" carried|strong="H1540" away|strong="H1540" captive|strong="H1540".
20 Lift|strong="H5375" up|strong="H5375" your|strong="H5414" eyes|strong="H5869", and|strong="H5869" behold|strong="H7200" them|strong="H5414" that|strong="H7200" come from|strong="H5869" the|strong="H7200" north|strong="H6828": where is|strong="H5869" the|strong="H7200" flock|strong="H6629" that|strong="H7200" was|strong="H6629" given|strong="H5414" thee|strong="H5414", thy|strong="H5414" beautiful|strong="H8597" flock|strong="H6629"?
21 What|strong="H4100" wilt thou|strong="H3644" say, when|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" shall|strong="H3808" set|strong="H6485" over|strong="H5921" thee as|strong="H3644" head|strong="H7218" those|strong="H5921" whom|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3644" hast thyself|strong="H3644" taught|strong="H3925" to|strong="H5921" be|strong="H3808" friends to|strong="H5921" thee? shall|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" sorrows|strong="H2256" take|strong="H6485" hold of|strong="H3205" thee, as|strong="H3644" of|strong="H3205" a|strong="H3068" woman|strong="H3205" in|strong="H5921" travail|strong="H3205"?
22 And|strong="H3824" if|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3824" say in|strong="H3588" thy|strong="H1540" heart|strong="H3824", Wherefore|strong="H4069" are|strong="H3824" these things|strong="H1540" come|strong="H7122" upon|strong="H7122" me|strong="H3824"? for|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" greatness|strong="H7230" of|strong="H7230" thine|strong="H1540" iniquity|strong="H5771" are|strong="H3824" thy|strong="H1540" skirts|strong="H7757" uncovered|strong="H1540", and|strong="H3824" thy|strong="H1540" heels|strong="H6119" suffer violence|strong="H2554".
23 Can|strong="H3201" the|strong="H1571" Ethiopian|strong="H3569" change|strong="H2015" his|strong="H2015" skin|strong="H5785", or|strong="H1571" the|strong="H1571" leopard|strong="H5246" his|strong="H2015" spots|strong="H2272"? then|strong="H1571" may|strong="H3201" ye also|strong="H1571" do|strong="H3190" good|strong="H3190", that|strong="H1571" are|strong="H1571" accustomed|strong="H3928" to|strong="H3201" do|strong="H3190" evil|strong="H7489".
24 Therefore will|strong="H7307" I scatter|strong="H6327" them|strong="H5674", as|strong="H4057" the|strong="H5674" stubble|strong="H7179" that|strong="H7307" passeth|strong="H5674" away|strong="H5674", by|strong="H5674" the|strong="H5674" wind|strong="H7307" of|strong="H7307" the|strong="H5674" wilderness|strong="H4057".
25 This|strong="H2088" is|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" lot|strong="H1486", the|strong="H5002" portion|strong="H4490" measured|strong="H4055" unto|strong="H3068" thee from|strong="H3068" me|strong="H7911", saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068"; because|strong="H3068" thou hast forgotten|strong="H7911" me|strong="H7911", and|strong="H3068" trusted in|strong="H3068" falsehood|strong="H8267".
26 Therefore|strong="H5921" will|strong="H1571" I|strong="H5921" also|strong="H1571" uncover thy|strong="H7200" skirts|strong="H7757" upon|strong="H5921" thy|strong="H7200" face|strong="H6440", and|strong="H6440" thy|strong="H7200" shame|strong="H7036" shall|strong="H6440" appear|strong="H7200".
27 I|strong="H5921" have|strong="H7200" seen|strong="H7200" thine|strong="H7200" abominations|strong="H8251", even|strong="H5750" thine|strong="H7200" adulteries|strong="H5004", and|strong="H3389" thy|strong="H7200" neighings|strong="H4684", the|strong="H5921" lewdness|strong="H2154" of|strong="H7704" thy|strong="H7200" whoredom|strong="H2184", on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" hills|strong="H1389" in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" field|strong="H7704". Woe unto|strong="H7200" thee|strong="H7200", O|strong="H3068" Jerusalem|strong="H3389"! thou|strong="H7200" wilt not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" made clean|strong="H2891"; how|strong="H4970" long|strong="H5750" shall|strong="H7704" it|strong="H5921" yet|strong="H5750" be|strong="H3808"?
