1 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> unto me, Go <01980> (8800) and get <07069> (8804) thee a linen <06593> girdle <0232>, and put <07760> (8804) it upon thy loins <04975>, and put <0935> (8686) it not in water <04325>.
2 So I got <07069> (8799) a girdle <0232> according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, and put <07760> (8799) it on my loins <04975>.
3 And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me the second time <08145>, saying <0559> (8800),
4 Take <03947> (8798) the girdle <0232> that thou hast got <07069> (8804), which is upon thy loins <04975>, and arise <06965> (8798), go <03212> (8798) to Euphrates <06578>, and hide <02934> (8798) it there in a hole <05357> of the rock <05553>.
5 So I went <03212> (8799), and hid <02934> (8799) it by Euphrates <06578>, as the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> (8765) me.
6 And it came to pass after <07093> many <07227> days <03117>, that the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto me, Arise <06965> (8798), go <03212> (8798) to Euphrates <06578>, and take <03947> (8798) the girdle <0232> from thence, which I commanded <06680> (8765) thee to hide <02934> (8800) there.
7 Then I went <03212> (8799) to Euphrates <06578>, and digged <02658> (8799), and took <03947> (8799) the girdle <0232> from the place <04725> where I had hid <02934> (8804) it: and, behold, the girdle <0232> was marred <07843> (8738), it was profitable <06743> (8799) for nothing.
8 Then the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
9 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, After this manner will I mar <07843> (8686) the pride <01347> of Judah <03063>, and the great <07227> pride <01347> of Jerusalem <03389>.
10 This evil <07451> people <05971>, which refuse <03987> to hear <08085> (8800) my words <01697>, which walk <01980> (8802) in the imagination <08307> of their heart <03820>, and walk <03212> (8799) after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430>, to serve <05647> (8800) them, and to worship <07812> (8692) them, shall even be as this girdle <0232>, which is good <06743> (8799) for nothing.
11 For as the girdle <0232> cleaveth <01692> (8799) to the loins <04975> of a man <0376>, so have I caused to cleave <01692> (8689) unto me the whole house <01004> of Israel <03478> and the whole house <01004> of Judah <03063>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; that they might be unto me for a people <05971>, and for a name <08034>, and for a praise <08416> , and for a glory <08597>: but they would not hear <08085> (8804).
12 # Therefore thou shalt speak <0559> (8804) unto them this word <01697>; Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, Every bottle <05035> shall be filled <04390> (8735) with wine <03196>: and they shall say <0559> (8804) unto thee, Do we not certainly <03045> (8800) know <03045> (8799) that every bottle <05035> shall be filled <04390> (8735) with wine <03196>?
13 Then shalt thou say <0559> (8804) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Behold, I will fill <04390> (8764) all the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of this land <0776>, even the kings <04428> that sit <03427> (8802) upon David's <01732> throne <03678>, and the priests <03548>, and the prophets <05030>, and all the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>, with drunkenness <07943>.
14 And I will dash <05310> (8765) them one <0376> against another <0251>, even the fathers <01> and the sons <01121> together <03162>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: I will not pity <02550> (8799), nor spare <02347> (8799), nor have mercy <07355> (8762), but destroy <07843> (8687) them.
15 Hear <08085> (8798) ye, and give ear <0238> (8685); be not proud <01361> (8799): for the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765).
16 Give <05414> (8798) glory <03519> to the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, before he cause darkness <02821> (8686), and before your feet <07272> stumble <05062> (8691) upon the dark <05399> mountains <02022>, and, while ye look <06960> (8765) for light <0216>, he turn <07760> (8804) it into the shadow of death <06757>, and make <07896> (8798) (8675) <07896> (8799) it gross darkness <06205>.
17 But if ye will not hear <08085> (8799) it, my soul <05315> shall weep <01058> (8799) in secret places <04565> for <06440> your pride <01466>; and mine eye <05869> shall weep <01830> (8799) sore <01830> (8800) , and run down <03381> (8799) with tears <01832>, because the LORD'S <03068> flock <05739> is carried away captive <07617> (8738).
18 Say <0559> (8798) unto the king <04428> and to the queen <01377>, Humble <08213> (8685) yourselves, sit down <03427> (8798): for your principalities <04761> shall come down <03381> (8804), even the crown <05850> of your glory <08597>.
19 The cities <05892> of the south <05045> shall be shut up <05462> (8795), and none shall open <06605> (8802) them: Judah <03063> shall be carried away captive <01540> (8717) all of it, it shall be wholly <07965> carried away captive <01540> (8717).
20 Lift up <05375> (8798) your eyes <05869>, and behold <07200> (8798) them that come <0935> (8802) from the north <06828>: where is the flock <05739> that was given <05414> (8738) thee, thy beautiful <08597> flock <06629>?
21 What wilt thou say <0559> (8799) when he shall punish <06485> (8799) thee? for thou hast taught <03925> (8765) them to be captains <0441>, and as chief <07218> over thee: shall not sorrows <02256> take <0270> (8799) thee, as a woman <0802> in travail <03205> (8800)?
22 # And if thou say <0559> (8799) in thine heart <03824>, Wherefore come <07122> (8804) these things upon me? For the greatness <07230> of thine iniquity <05771> are thy skirts <07757> discovered <01540> (8738), and thy heels <06119> made bare <02554> (8738).
23 Can the Ethiopian <03569> change <02015> (8799) his skin <05785>, or the leopard <05246> his spots <02272> ? then may <03201> (8799) ye also do good <03190> (8687), that are accustomed <03928> to do evil <07489> (8687).
24 Therefore will I scatter <06327> (8686) them as the stubble <07179> that passeth away <05674> (8802) by the wind <07307> of the wilderness <04057>.
25 This is thy lot <01486>, the portion <04490> of thy measures <04055> from me, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; because thou hast forgotten <07911> (8804) me, and trusted <0982> (8799) in falsehood <08267>.
26 Therefore will I discover <02834> (8804) thy skirts <07757> upon thy face <06440>, that thy shame <07036> may appear <07200> (8738).
27 I have seen <07200> (8804) thine adulteries <05004>, and thy neighings <04684>, the lewdness <02154> of thy whoredom <02184>, and thine abominations <08251> on the hills <01389> in the fields <07704>. Woe <0188> unto thee, O Jerusalem <03389>! wilt thou not be made clean <02891> (8799)? when shall it once <05750> <0310> be?
