Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, GoH1980 and getH7069 thee a linenH6593 girdleH232, and putH7760 it upon thy loinsH4975, and putH935 it not in waterH4325.
So I gotH7069 a girdleH232 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and putH7760 it on my loinsH4975.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me the second timeH8145, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 the girdleH232 that thou hast gotH7069, which is upon thy loinsH4975, and ariseH6965, goH3212 to EuphratesH6578, and hideH2934 it there in a holeH5357 of the rockH5553.
So I wentH3212, and hidH2934 it by EuphratesH6578, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 me.
And it came to pass afterH7093 manyH7227 daysH3117, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, AriseH6965, goH3212 to EuphratesH6578, and takeH3947 the girdleH232 from thence, which I commandedH6680 thee to hideH2934 there.
Then I wentH3212 to EuphratesH6578, and diggedH2658, and tookH3947 the girdleH232 from the placeH4725 where I had hidH2934 it: and, behold, the girdleH232 was marredH7843, it was profitableH6743 for nothing.
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, After this manner will I marH7843 the prideH1347 of JudahH3063, and the greatH7227 prideH1347 of JerusalemH3389.
This evilH7451 peopleH5971, which refuseH3987 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, which walkH1980 in the imaginationH8307 of their heartH3820, and walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, shall even be as this girdleH232, which is goodH6743 for nothing. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
For as the girdleH232 cleavethH1692 to the loinsH4975 of a manH376, so have I caused to cleaveH1692 unto me the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the whole houseH1004 of JudahH3063, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; that they might be unto me for a peopleH5971, and for a nameH8034, and for a praiseH8416, and for a gloryH8597: but they would not hearH8085.
Therefore thou shalt speakH559 unto them this wordH1697; Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Every bottleH5035 shall be filledH4390 with wineH3196: and they shall sayH559 unto thee, Do we not certainlyH3045 knowH3045 that every bottleH5035 shall be filledH4390 with wineH3196?
Then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will fillH4390 all the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776, even the kingsH4428 that sitH3427 upon David'sH1732 throneH3678, and the priestsH3548, and the prophetsH5030, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, with drunkennessH7943.
And I will dashH5310 them oneH376 against anotherH251, even the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: I will not pityH2550, nor spareH2347, nor have mercyH7355, but destroyH7843 them. {one…: Heb. a man against his brother} {but…: Heb. from destroying them}
HearH8085 ye, and give earH238; be not proudH1361: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696.
GiveH5414 gloryH3519 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430, before he cause darknessH2821, and before your feetH7272 stumbleH5062 upon the darkH5399 mountainsH2022, and, while ye lookH6960 for lightH216, he turnH7760 it into the shadow of deathH6757, and makeH7896+H7896 it gross darknessH6205.
But if ye will not hearH8085 it, my soulH5315 shall weepH1058 in secret placesH4565 forH6440 your prideH1466; and mine eyeH5869 shall weepH1830 soreH1830, and run downH3381 with tearsH1832, because the LORD'SH3068 flockH5739 is carried away captiveH7617.
SayH559 unto the kingH4428 and to the queenH1377, HumbleH8213 yourselves, sit downH3427: for your principalitiesH4761 shall come downH3381, even the crownH5850 of your gloryH8597. {principalities: or, head tires}
The citiesH5892 of the southH5045 shall be shut upH5462, and none shall openH6605 them: JudahH3063 shall be carried away captiveH1540 all of it, it shall be whollyH7965 carried away captiveH1540.
Lift upH5375 your eyesH5869, and beholdH7200 them that comeH935 from the northH6828: where is the flockH5739 that was givenH5414 thee, thy beautifulH8597 flockH6629?
What wilt thou sayH559 when he shall punishH6485 thee? for thou hast taughtH3925 them to be captainsH441, and as chiefH7218 over thee: shall not sorrowsH2256 takeH270 thee, as a womanH802 in travailH3205? {punish: Heb visit upon}
And if thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, Wherefore comeH7122 these things upon me? For the greatnessH7230 of thine iniquityH5771 are thy skirtsH7757 discoveredH1540, and thy heelsH6119 made bareH2554. {made…: or, shall be violently taken away}
Can the EthiopianH3569 changeH2015 his skinH5785, or the leopardH5246 his spotsH2272? then mayH3201 ye also do goodH3190, that are accustomedH3928 to do evilH7489. {accustomed: Heb. taught}
Therefore will I scatterH6327 them as the stubbleH7179 that passeth awayH5674 by the windH7307 of the wildernessH4057.
This is thy lotH1486, the portionH4490 of thy measuresH4055 from me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; because thou hast forgottenH7911 me, and trustedH982 in falsehoodH8267.
Therefore will I discoverH2834 thy skirtsH7757 upon thy faceH6440, that thy shameH7036 may appearH7200.
I have seenH7200 thine adulteriesH5004, and thy neighingsH4684, the lewdnessH2154 of thy whoredomH2184, and thine abominationsH8251 on the hillsH1389 in the fieldsH7704. WoeH188 unto thee, O JerusalemH3389! wilt thou not be made cleanH2891? when shall it onceH5750+H310 be? {when…: Heb. after when yet?}

And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 came inH935 unto PharaohH6547, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680, How longH4970 wilt thou refuseH3985 to humbleH6031 thyself beforeH6440 me? let my peopleH5971 goH7971, that they may serveH5647 me.

Come downH3381, and sitH3427 in the dustH6083, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of BabylonH894, sitH3427 on the groundH776: there is no throneH3678, O daughterH1323 of the ChaldeansH3778: for thou shalt no moreH3254 be calledH7121 tenderH7390 and delicateH6028.

And sayH559, What is thy motherH517? A lionessH3833: she lay downH7257 among lionsH738, she nourishedH7235 her whelpsH1482 amongH8432 young lionsH3715.
And she brought upH5927 oneH259 of her whelpsH1482: it became a young lionH3715, and it learnedH3925 to catchH2963 the preyH2964; it devouredH398 menH120.
The nationsH1471 also heardH8085 of him; he was takenH8610 in their pitH7845, and they broughtH935 him with chainsH2397 unto the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Now when she sawH7200 that she had waitedH3176, and her hopeH8615 was lostH6, then she tookH3947 anotherH259 of her whelpsH1482, and madeH7760 him a young lionH3715.
And he went up and downH1980 amongH8432 the lionsH738, he became a young lionH3715, and learnedH3925 to catchH2963 the preyH2964, and devouredH398 menH120.
And he knewH3045 their desolate palacesH490, and he laid wasteH2717 their citiesH5892; and the landH776 was desolateH3456, and the fulnessH4393 thereof, by the noiseH6963 of his roaringH7581. {their desolate…: or, their widows} {the fulness…: or, all it containeth}

Thy motherH517 is like a vineH1612 in thy bloodH1818+H1818, plantedH8362 by the watersH4325: she was fruitfulH6509 and full of branchesH6058 by reason of manyH7227 watersH4325. {in…: or, in thy quietness, or, in thy likeness}

But she was plucked upH5428 in furyH2534, she was cast downH7993 to the groundH776, and the eastH6921 windH7307 dried upH3001 her fruitH6529: her strongH5797 rodsH4294 were brokenH6561 and witheredH3001; the fireH784 consumedH398 them.
And now she is plantedH8362 in the wildernessH4057, in a dryH6723 and thirstyH6772 groundH776.
And fireH784 is gone outH3318 of a rodH4294 of her branchesH905, which hath devouredH398 her fruitH6529, so that she hath no strongH5797 rodH4294 to be a sceptreH7626 to ruleH4910. This is a lamentationH7015, and shall be for a lamentationH7015.
