1 Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 unto me, Go 1980 and get 7069 thee a linen 6593 girdle 232, and put 7760 it upon thy loins 4975, and put 935 it not in water 4325.
2 So I got 7069 a girdle 232 according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, and put 7760 it on my loins 4975.
3 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me the second time 8145, saying 559,
4 Take 3947 the girdle 232 that thou hast got 7069, which is upon thy loins 4975, and arise 6965, go 3212 to Euphrates 6578, and hide 2934 it there in a hole 5357 of the rock 5553.
5 So I went 3212, and hid 2934 it by Euphrates 6578, as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 me.
6 And it came to pass after 7093 many 7227 days 3117, that the LORD 3068 said 559 unto me, Arise 6965, go 3212 to Euphrates 6578, and take 3947 the girdle 232 from thence, which I commanded 6680 thee to hide 2934 there.
7 Then I went 3212 to Euphrates 6578, and digged 2658, and took 3947 the girdle 232 from the place 4725 where I had hid 2934 it: and, behold, the girdle 232 was marred 7843, it was profitable 6743 for nothing.
8 Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559,
9 Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, After this manner will I mar 7843 the pride 1347 of Judah 3063, and the great 7227 pride 1347 of Jerusalem 3389.
10 This evil 7451 people 5971, which refuse 3987 to hear 8085 my words 1697, which walk 1980 in the imagination 8307 of their heart 3820, and walk 3212 after 310 other 312 gods 430, to serve 5647 them, and to worship 7812 them, shall even be as this girdle 232, which is good 6743 for nothing.
11 For as the girdle 232 cleaveth 1692 to the loins 4975 of a man 376, so have I caused to cleave 1692 unto me the whole house 1004 of Israel 3478 and the whole house 1004 of Judah 3063, saith 5002 the LORD 3068; that they might be unto me for a people 5971, and for a name 8034, and for a praise 8416, and for a glory 8597: but they would not hear 8085.
12 Therefore thou shalt speak 559 unto them this word 1697; Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, Every bottle 5035 shall be filled 4390 with wine 3196: and they shall say 559 unto thee, Do we not certainly 3045 know 3045 that every bottle 5035 shall be filled 4390 with wine 3196?
13 Then shalt thou say 559 unto them, Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, Behold, I will fill 4390 all the inhabitants 3427 of this land 776, even the kings 4428 that sit 3427 upon David's 1732 throne 3678, and the priests 3548, and the prophets 5030, and all the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389, with drunkenness 7943.
14 And I will dash 5310 them one 376 against another 251, even the fathers 1 and the sons 1121 together 3162, saith 5002 the LORD 3068: I will not pity 2550, nor spare 2347, nor have mercy 7355, but destroy 7843 them.
15 Hear 8085 ye, and give ear 238; be not proud 1361: for the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696.
16 Give 5414 glory 3519 to the LORD 3068 your God 430, before he cause darkness 2821, and before your feet 7272 stumble 5062 upon the dark 5399 mountains 2022, and, while ye look 6960 for light 216, he turn 7760 it into the shadow of death 6757, and make 7896 7896 it gross darkness 6205.
17 But if ye will not hear 8085 it, my soul 5315 shall weep 1058 in secret places 4565 for 6440 your pride 1466; and mine eye 5869 shall weep 1830 sore 1830, and run down 3381 with tears 1832, because the LORD'S 3068 flock 5739 is carried away captive 7617.
18 Say 559 unto the king 4428 and to the queen 1377, Humble 8213 yourselves, sit down 3427: for your principalities 4761 shall come down 3381, even the crown 5850 of your glory 8597.
19 The cities 5892 of the south 5045 shall be shut up 5462, and none shall open 6605 them: Judah 3063 shall be carried away captive 1540 all of it, it shall be wholly 7965 carried away captive 1540.
20 Lift up 5375 your eyes 5869, and behold 7200 them that come 935 from the north 6828: where is the flock 5739 that was given 5414 thee, thy beautiful 8597 flock 6629?
21 What wilt thou say 559 when he shall punish 6485 thee? for thou hast taught 3925 them to be captains 441, and as chief 7218 over thee: shall not sorrows 2256 take 270 thee, as a woman 802 in travail 3205?
22 And if thou say 559 in thine heart 3824, Wherefore come 7122 these things upon me? For the greatness 7230 of thine iniquity 5771 are thy skirts 7757 discovered 1540, and thy heels 6119 made bare 2554.
23 Can the Ethiopian 3569 change 2015 his skin 5785, or the leopard 5246 his spots 2272? then may 3201 ye also do good 3190, that are accustomed 3928 to do evil 7489.
24 Therefore will I scatter 6327 them as the stubble 7179 that passeth away 5674 by the wind 7307 of the wilderness 4057.
25 This is thy lot 1486, the portion 4490 of thy measures 4055 from me, saith 5002 the LORD 3068; because thou hast forgotten 7911 me, and trusted 982 in falsehood 8267.
26 Therefore will I discover 2834 thy skirts 7757 upon thy face 6440, that thy shame 7036 may appear 7200.
27 I have seen 7200 thine adulteries 5004, and thy neighings 4684, the lewdness 2154 of thy whoredom 2184, and thine abominations 8251 on the hills 1389 in the fields 7704. Woe 188 unto thee, O Jerusalem 3389! wilt thou not be made clean 2891? when shall it once 5750 310 be?
