[1] Yahweh said to me, “Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and don’t put it in water.” [2] So I bought a belt according to Yahweh’s word, and put it on my waist. [3] Yahweh’s word came to me the second time, saying, [4] “Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.” [5] So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as Yahweh commanded me. [6] After many days, Yahweh said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there.” [7] Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and behold, the belt was ruined. It was profitable for nothing. [8] Then Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [9] “Yahweh says, ‘In this way I will ruin the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. [10] This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them and to worship them, will even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing. [11] For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to me,’ says Yahweh; ‘that they may be to me for a people, for a name, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.’ [12] “Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘Yahweh, the God of Israel says, “Every container should be filled with wine.” ’ They will tell you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every container should be filled with wine?’ [13] Then tell them, ‘Yahweh says, “Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness. [14] I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together,” says Yahweh: “I will not pity, spare, or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.” ’ ”
[15] Hear, and give ear.
Don’t be proud,
for Yahweh has spoken.
[16] Give glory to Yahweh your God,
before he causes darkness,
and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains,
and while you look for light,
he turns it into the shadow of death,
and makes it deep darkness.
[17] But if you will not hear it,
my soul will weep in secret for your pride.
My eye will weep bitterly,
and run down with tears,
because Yahweh’s flock has been taken captive.
[18] Say to the king and to the queen mother,
“Humble yourselves.
Sit down, for your crowns have come down,
even the crown of your glory.
[19] The cities of the South are shut up,
and there is no one to open them.
Judah is carried away captive: all of them.
They are wholly carried away captive.
[20] Lift up your eyes,
and see those who come from the north.
Where is the flock that was given to you,
your beautiful flock?
[21] What will you say when he sets over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you?
Won’t sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
[22] If you say in your heart,
“Why have these things come on me?”
Your skirts are uncovered because of the greatness of your iniquity,
and your heels suffer violence.
[23] Can the Ethiopian change his skin,
or the leopard his spots?
Then may you also do good,
who are accustomed to do evil. [24] “Therefore I will scatter them
as the stubble that passes away
by the wind of the wilderness.
[25] This is your lot,
the portion measured to you from me,” says Yahweh,
“because you have forgotten me,
and trusted in falsehood.”
[26] Therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face,
and your shame will appear.
[27] I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries
and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution,
on the hills in the field.
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
You will not be made clean.
How long will it yet be?”
[15] Hear, and give ear.
Don’t be proud,
for Yahweh has spoken.
[16] Give glory to Yahweh your God,
before he causes darkness,
and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains,
and while you look for light,

King James Version
[1] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 unto me, GoH1980(QalInf) and getH7069(QalPerf) thee a linenH6593 girdle,H232 and putH7760(QalPerf) it upon thy loins,H4975 and putH935(HiphImpf) it not in water.H4325 [2] So I gotH7069(QalImpf) a girdleH232 according to the wordH1697 of the Lord,H3068 and putH7760(QalImpf) [it] on my loins.H4975 [3] And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came unto me the second time,H8145 saying,H559(QalInf) [4] TakeH3947(QalImpv) the girdleH232 that thou hast got,H7069(QalPerf) which [is] upon thy loins,H4975 and arise,H6965(QalImpv) goH3212(QalImpv) to Euphrates,H6578 and hideH2934(QalImpv) it there in a holeH5357 of the rock.H5553 [5] So I went,H3212(QalImpf) and hidH2934(QalImpf) it by Euphrates,H6578 as the LordH3068 commandedH6680(PielPerf) me. [6] And it came to pass afterH7093 manyH7227 days,H3117 that the LordH3068 saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, Arise,H6965(QalImpv) goH3212(QalImpv) to Euphrates,H6578 and takeH3947(QalImpv) the girdleH232 from thence, which I commandedH6680(PielPerf) thee to hideH2934(QalInf) there. [7] Then I wentH3212(QalImpf) to Euphrates,H6578 and digged,H2658(QalImpf) and tookH3947(QalImpf) the girdleH232 from the placeH4725 where I had hidH2934(QalPerf) it: and, behold, the girdleH232 was marred,H7843(NiphPerf) it was profitableH6743(QalImpf) for nothing. [8] Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came unto me, saying,H559(QalInf) [9] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 After this manner will I marH7843(HiphImpf) the prideH1347 of Judah,H3063 and the greatH7227 prideH1347 of Jerusalem.H3389 [10] This evilH7451 people,H5971 which refuseH3987 to hearH8085(QalInf) my words,H1697 which walkH1980(QalActPtc) in the imaginationH8307 of their heart,H3820 and walkH3212(QalImpf) afterH310 otherH312 gods,H430 to serveH5647(QalInf) them, and to worshipH7812(HithInf) them, shall even be as this girdle,H232 which is goodH6743(QalImpf) for nothing. [11] For as the girdleH232 cleavethH1692(QalImpf) to the loinsH4975 of a man,H376 so have I caused to cleaveH1692(HiphPerf) unto me the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the whole houseH1004 of Judah,H3063 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord;H3068 that they might be unto me for a people,H5971 and for a name,H8034 and for a praise,H8416 and for a glory:H8597 but they would not hear.H8085(QalPerf) [12] Therefore thou shalt speakH559(QalPerf) unto them this word;H1697 Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 Every bottleH5035 shall be filledH4390(NiphImpf) with wine:H3196 and they shall sayH559(QalPerf) unto thee, Do we not certainlyH3045(QalInf) knowH3045(QalImpf) that every bottleH5035 shall be filledH4390(NiphImpf) with wine?H3196 [13] Then shalt thou sayH559(QalPerf) unto them, Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 Behold, I will fillH4390(PielPtc) all the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of this land,H776 even the kingsH4428 that sitH3427(QalActPtc) upon David’sH1732 throne,H3678 and the priests,H3548 and the prophets,H5030 and all the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Jerusalem,H3389 with drunkenness.H7943 [14] And I will dashH5310(PielPerf) them oneH376 against another,H251 even the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 together,H3162 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord:H3068 I will not pity,H2550(QalImpf) nor spare,H2347(QalImpf) nor have mercy,H7355(PielImpf) but destroyH7843(HiphInf) them. [15] HearH8085(QalImpv) ye, and give ear;H238(HiphImpv) be not proud:H1361(QalImpf) for the LordH3068 hath spoken.H1696(PielPerf) [16] GiveH5414(QalImpv) gloryH3519 to the LordH3068 your God,H430 before he cause darkness,H2821(HiphImpf) and before your feetH7272 stumbleH5062(HithImpf) upon the darkH5399 mountains,H2022 and, while ye lookH6960(PielPerf) for light,H216 he turnH7760(QalPerf) it into the shadow of death,H6757 [and] makeH7896(QalImpv/Qere) [it] gross darkness.H6205 [17] But if ye will not hearH8085(QalImpf) it, my soulH5315 shall weepH1058(QalImpf) in secret placesH4565 forH6440 [your] pride;H1466 and mine eyeH5869 shall weepH1830(QalImpf) sore,H1830(QalInf) and run downH3381(QalImpf) with tears,H1832 because the Lord’sH3068 flockH5739 is carried away captive.H7617(NiphPerf) [18] SayH559(QalImpv) unto the kingH4428 and to the queen,H1377 HumbleH8213(HiphImpv) yourselves, sit down:H3427(QalImpv) for your principalitiesH4761 shall come down,H3381(QalPerf) [even] the crownH5850 of your glory.H8597 [19] The citiesH5892 of the southH5045 shall be shut up,H5462(PualPerf) and none shall openH6605(QalActPtc) [them]: JudahH3063 shall be carried away captiveH1540(HophPerf) all of it, it shall be whollyH7965 carried away captive.H1540(HophPerf) [20] Lift upH5375(QalImpv) your eyes,H5869 and beholdH7200(QalImpv) them that comeH935(QalActPtc) from the north:H6828 where [is] the flockH5739 [that] was givenH5414(NiphPerf) thee, thy beautifulH8597 flock?H6629 [21] What wilt thou sayH559(QalImpf) when he shall punishH6485(QalImpf) thee? for thou hast taughtH3925(PielPerf) them [to be] captains,H441 [and] as chiefH7218 over thee: shall not sorrowsH2256 takeH270(QalImpf) thee, as a womanH802 in travail?H3205(QalInf) [22] And if thou sayH559(QalImpf) in thine heart,H3824 Wherefore comeH7122(QalPerf) these things upon me? For the greatnessH7230 of thine iniquityH5771 are thy skirtsH7757 discovered,H1540(NiphPerf) [and] thy heelsH6119 made bare.H2554(NiphPerf) [23] Can the EthiopianH3569 changeH2015(QalImpf) his skin,H5785 or the leopardH5246 his spots?H2272 [then] mayH3201(QalImpf) ye also do good,H3190(HiphInf) that are accustomedH3928 to do evil.H7489(HiphInf) [24] Therefore will I scatterH6327(HiphImpf) them as the stubbleH7179 that passeth awayH5674(QalActPtc) by the windH7307 of the wilderness.H4057 [25] This [is] thy lot,H1486 the portionH4490 of thy measuresH4055 from me, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord;H3068 because thou hast forgottenH7911(QalPerf) me, and trustedH982(QalImpf) in falsehood.H8267 [26] Therefore will I discoverH2834(QalPerf) thy skirtsH7757 upon thy face,H6440 that thy shameH7036 may appear.H7200(NiphPerf) [27] I have seenH7200(QalPerf) thine adulteries,H5004 and thy neighings,H4684 the lewdnessH2154 of thy whoredom,H2184 [and] thine abominationsH8251 on the hillsH1389 in the fields.H7704 WoeH188 unto thee, O Jerusalem!H3389 wilt thou not be made clean?H2891(QalImpf) when [shall it] onceH5750 [be]?
