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?}

For of old timeH5769 I have brokenH7665 thy yokeH5923, and burstH5423 thy bandsH4147; and thou saidstH559, I will not transgressH5674+H5647; when upon every highH1364 hillH1389 and under every greenH7488 treeH6086 thou wanderestH6808, playing the harlotH2181. {transgress: or, serve}
Yet I had plantedH5193 thee a noble vineH8321, wholly a rightH571 seedH2233: how then art thou turnedH2015 into the degenerate plantH5494 of a strangeH5237 vineH1612 unto me?
For though thou washH3526 thee with nitreH5427, and take thee muchH7235 soapH1287, yet thine iniquityH5771 is markedH3799 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
How canst thou sayH559, I am not pollutedH2930, I have not goneH1980 afterH310 BaalimH1168? seeH7200 thy wayH1870 in the valleyH1516, knowH3045 what thou hast doneH6213: thou art a swiftH7031 dromedaryH1072 traversingH8308 her waysH1870; {thou art…: or, O swift dromedary}

O JerusalemH3389, washH3526 thine heartH3820 from wickednessH7451, that thou mayest be savedH3467. How long shall thy vainH205 thoughtsH4284 lodgeH3885 withinH7130 thee?
How long, ye simple onesH6612, will ye loveH157 simplicityH6612? and the scornersH3887 delightH2530 in their scorningH3944, and foolsH3684 hateH8130 knowledgeH1847?

Saying}
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto the high placesH8205, and seeH7200 whereH375 thou hast not been lienH7693+H7901 with. In the waysH1870 hast thou satH3427 for them, as the ArabianH6163 in the wildernessH4057; and thou hast pollutedH2610 the landH776 with thy whoredomsH2184 and with thy wickednessH7451.
And he spreadH6566 it beforeH6440 me; and it was writtenH3789 withinH6440 and withoutH268: and there was writtenH3789 therein lamentationsH7015, and mourningH1899, and woeH1958.
How long shall they utterH5042 and speakH1696 hard thingsH6277? and all the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 boastH559 themselves?
Thy calfH5695, O SamariaH8111, hath castH2186 thee off; mine angerH639 is kindledH2734 against them: how long will it be ereH3808 they attainH3201 to innocencyH5356?
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto the high placesH8205, and seeH7200 whereH375 thou hast not been lienH7693+H7901 with.

The LORDH3068 saidH559 also unto me in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the kingH4428, Hast thou seenH7200 that which backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath doneH6213? she is gone upH1980 upon every highH1364 mountainH2022 and underH8478 every greenH7488 treeH6086, and there hath played the harlotH2181.
Wherefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH188 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892, to the potH5518 whose scumH2457 is therein, and whose scumH2457 is not gone outH3318 of it! bring it outH3318 pieceH5409 by pieceH5409; let no lotH1486 fallH5307 upon it.
UnderstandH995, ye brutishH1197 among the peopleH5971: and ye foolsH3684, when will ye be wiseH7919?
HowH335 shall I pardonH5545 thee for thisH2063? thy childrenH1121 have forsakenH5800 me, and swornH7650 by them that are noH3808 godsH430: when I had fed them to the fullH7650, they then committed adulteryH5003, and assembled themselves by troopsH1413 in the harlots'H2181 housesH1004.
Upon a loftyH1364 and highH5375 mountainH2022 hast thou setH7760 thy bedH4904: even thither wentest thou upH5927 to offerH2076 sacrificeH2077.
WoeH1945 to her that is filthyH4754 and pollutedH1351, to the oppressingH3238 cityH5892! {her…: or, gluttonous: Heb. craw}
In thy filthinessH2932 is lewdnessH2154: because I have purgedH2891 thee, and thou wast not purgedH2891, thou shalt not be purgedH2891 from thy filthinessH2932 any more, till I have caused my furyH2534 to restH5117 upon thee.
They were as fedH2109 horsesH5483 in the morningH7904: every oneH376 neighedH6670 after his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802.
Your iniquitiesH5771, and the iniquitiesH5771 of your fathersH1 togetherH3162, saithH559 the LORDH3068, which have burned incenseH6999 upon the mountainsH2022, and blasphemedH2778 me upon the hillsH1389: therefore will I measureH4058 their formerH7223 workH6468 into their bosomH2436.
WoeG3759 unto theeG4671, ChorazinG5523! woeG3759 unto theeG4671, BethsaidaG966! forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG1411, whichG3588 were doneG1096 inG1722 youG5213, had been doneG1096 inG1722 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, they would have repentedG3340 long agoG302+G3819 inG1722 sackclothG4526 andG2532 ashesG4700.
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
But thou didst trustH982 in thine own beautyH3308, and playedst the harlotH2181 because of thy renownH8034, and pouredst outH8210 thy fornicationsH8457 on every one that passed byH5674; his it was.
And of thy garmentsH899 thou didst takeH3947, and deckedstH6213 thy high placesH1116 with divers coloursH2921, and playedst the harlotH2181 thereupon: the like things shall not comeH935, neither shall it be so.
Thou hast also takenH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627 of my goldH2091 and of my silverH3701, which I had givenH5414 thee, and madestH6213 to thyself imagesH6754 of menH2145, and didst commit whoredomH2181 with them, {of men: Heb. of a male}
And tookestH3947 thy broideredH7553 garmentsH899, and coveredstH3680 them: and thou hast setH5414 mine oilH8081 and mine incenseH7004 beforeH6440 them.
My meatH3899 also which I gaveH5414 thee, fine flourH5560, and oilH8081, and honeyH1706, wherewith I fedH398 thee, thou hast even setH5414 it beforeH6440 them for a sweetH5207 savourH7381: and thus it was, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest}
Moreover thou hast takenH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323, whom thou hast borneH3205 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificedH2076 unto them to be devouredH398. Is this of thy whoredomsH8457 a small matterH4592, {to be…: Heb. to devour}
That thou hast slainH7819 my childrenH1121, and deliveredH5414 them to cause them to pass throughH5674 the fire for them?
And in all thine abominationsH8441 and thy whoredomsH8457 thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, when thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181, and wast pollutedH947 in thy bloodH1818.
Then shall ye knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when their slainH2491 men shall be amongH8432 their idolsH1544 round aboutH5439 their altarsH4196, upon every highH7311 hillH1389, in all the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086, and under every thickH5687 oakH424, the placeH4725 where they did offerH5414 sweetH5207 savourH7381 to all their idolsH1544.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492, andG2532 heardG191 anG1520 angelG32 flyingG4072 throughG1722 the midst of heavenG3321, sayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, WoeG3759, woeG3759, woeG3759, to the inhabitersG2730 ofG1909 the earthG1093 by reason ofG1537 the otherG3062 voicesG5456 of the trumpetG4536 of the threeG5140 angelsG32, whichG3588 are yetG3195 to soundG4537!
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will yet for this be enquiredH1875 of by the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to doH6213 it for them; I will increaseH7235 them with menH120 like a flockH6629.
SonH1121 of manH120, there were twoH8147 womenH802, the daughtersH1323 of oneH259 motherH517:
And they committed whoredomsH2181 in EgyptH4714; they committed whoredomsH2181 in their youthH5271: there were their breastsH7699 pressedH4600, and there they bruisedH6213 the teatsH1717 of their virginityH1331.
And the namesH8034 of them were AholahH170 the elderH1419, and AholibahH172 her sisterH269: and they were mine, and they bareH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. Thus were their namesH8034; SamariaH8111 is AholahH170, and JerusalemH3389 AholibahH172. {Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle} {Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her}
And AholahH170 played the harlotH2181 when she was mineH8478; and she dotedH5689 on her loversH157, on the AssyriansH804 her neighboursH7138,
Which were clothedH3847 with blueH8504, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.
Thus she committedH5414 her whoredomsH8457 with them, with all them that were the chosenH4005 menH1121 of AssyriaH804, and with all on whom she dotedH5689: with all their idolsH1544 she defiledH2930 herself. {committed…: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them} {the chosen…: Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur}
Neither leftH5800 she her whoredomsH8457 brought from EgyptH4714: for in her youthH5271 they layH7901 with her, and they bruisedH6213 the breastsH1717 of her virginityH1331, and pouredH8210 their whoredomH8457 upon her.
Wherefore I have deliveredH5414 her into the handH3027 of her loversH157, into the handH3027 of the AssyriansH1121+H804, upon whom she dotedH5689.
These discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: they tookH3947 her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, and slewH2026 her with the swordH2719: and she became famousH8034 among womenH802; for they had executedH6213 judgmentH8196 upon her. {famous: Heb. a name}
And when her sisterH269 AholibahH172 sawH7200 this, she was more corruptH7843 in her inordinate loveH5691 than she, and in her whoredomsH8457 more than her sisterH269 in her whoredomsH2183. {she was…: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than, etc} {more than…: Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister}
She dotedH5689 upon the AssyriansH1121+H804 her neighboursH7138, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461 clothedH3847 most gorgeouslyH4358, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970.
Then I sawH7200 that she was defiledH2930, that they took bothH8147 oneH259 wayH1870,
And that she increasedH3254 her whoredomsH8457: for when she sawH7200 menH582 pourtrayedH2707 upon the wallH7023, the imagesH6754 of the ChaldeansH3778 pourtrayedH2710 with vermilionH8350,
GirdedH2289 with girdlesH232 upon their loinsH4975, exceedingH5628 in dyed attireH2871 upon their headsH7218, all of them princesH7991 to look toH4758, after the mannerH1823 of the BabyloniansH1121+H894 of ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their nativityH4138:
And as soon as she sawH4758 them with her eyesH5869, she dotedH5689 upon them, and sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them into ChaldeaH3778. {as soon…: Heb. at the sight of her eyes}
And the BabyloniansH1121+H894 cameH935 to her into the bedH4904 of loveH1730, and they defiledH2930 her with their whoredomH8457, and she was pollutedH2930 with them, and her mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from them. {Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel} {alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed}
So she discoveredH1540 her whoredomsH8457, and discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: then my mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from her, like as my mindH5315 was alienatedH5361 from her sisterH269.
Yet she multipliedH7235 her whoredomsH8457, in calling to remembranceH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, wherein she had played the harlotH2181 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
For she dotedH5689 upon their paramoursH6370, whose fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of assesH2543, and whose issueH2231 is like the issueH2231 of horsesH5483.
Thus thou calledst to remembranceH6485 the lewdnessH2154 of thy youthH5271, in bruisingH6213 thy teatsH1717 by the EgyptiansH4714 for the papsH7699 of thy youthH5271.
For when I had broughtH935 them into the landH776, for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to them, then they sawH7200 every highH7311 hillH1389, and all the thickH5687 treesH6086, and they offeredH2076 there their sacrificesH2077, and there they presentedH5414 the provocationH3708 of their offeringH7133: there also they madeH7760 their sweetH5207 savourH7381, and poured outH5258 there their drink offeringsH5262.
AndG2504 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, AskG154, andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 youG5213; seekG2212, andG2532 ye shall findG2147; knockG2925, andG2532 it shall be openedG455 unto youG5213.
ForG1063 every oneG3956 that askethG154 receivethG2983; andG2532 he that seekethG2212 findethG2147; andG2532 to him that knockethG2925 it shall be openedG455.
