1This is what the LORD said to me: "Go and buy a linen belt and put it around your waist, but do not let it touch water."

1כֹּֽה־ אָמַ֨ר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלַ֗י הָל֞וֹךְ וְקָנִ֤יתָ לְּךָ֙ אֵז֣וֹר פִּשְׁתִּ֔ים וְשַׂמְתּ֖וֹ עַל־ מָתְנֶ֑יךָ וּבַמַּ֖יִם לֹ֥א תְבִאֵֽהוּ׃

2So I bought a belt, as the LORD directed, and put it around my waist.

2וָאֶקְנֶ֥ה אֶת־ הָאֵז֖וֹר כִּדְבַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה וָאָשִׂ֖ם עַל־ מָתְנָֽי׃ ס

3Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time:

3וַיְהִ֧י דְבַר־ יְהוָ֛ה אֵלַ֖י שֵׁנִ֥ית לֵאמֹֽר׃

4"Take the belt you bought and are wearing around your waist, and go now to Perath and hide it there in a crevice in the rocks."

4קַ֧ח אֶת־ הָאֵז֛וֹר אֲשֶׁ֥ר קָנִ֖יתָ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־ מָתְנֶ֑יךָ וְקוּם֙ לֵ֣ךְ פְּרָ֔תָה וְטָמְנֵ֥הוּ שָׁ֖ם בִּנְקִ֥יק הַסָּֽלַע׃

5So I went and hid it at Perath, as the LORD told me.

5וָאֵלֵ֕ךְ וָאֶטְמְנֵ֖הוּ בִּפְרָ֑ת כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אוֹתִֽי׃

6Many days later the LORD said to me, "Go now to Perath and get the belt I told you to hide there."

6וַיְהִ֕י מִקֵּ֖ץ יָמִ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלַ֗י ק֚וּם לֵ֣ךְ פְּרָ֔תָה וְקַ֤ח מִשָּׁם֙ אֶת־ הָ֣אֵז֔וֹר אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּיתִ֖יךָ לְטָמְנוֹ־ שָֽׁם׃

7So I went to Perath and dug up the belt and took it from the place where I had hidden it, but now it was ruined and completely useless.

7וָאֵלֵ֣ךְ פְּרָ֔תָה וָאֶחְפֹּ֗ר וָֽאֶקַּח֙ אֶת־ הָ֣אֵז֔וֹר מִן־ הַמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר־ טְמַנְתִּ֣יו שָׁ֑מָּה וְהִנֵּה֙ נִשְׁחַ֣ת הָאֵז֔וֹר לֹ֥א יִצְלַ֖ח לַכֹּֽל׃ פ

8Then the word of the LORD came to me:

8וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־ יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

9"This is what the LORD says: 'In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.

9כֹּ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה כָּ֠כָה אַשְׁחִ֞ית אֶת־ גְּא֧וֹן יְהוּדָ֛ה וְאֶת־ גְּא֥וֹן יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם הָרָֽב׃

10These wicked people, who refuse to listen to my words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts and go after other gods to serve and worship them, will be like this belt--completely useless!

10הָעָם֩ הַזֶּ֨ה הָרָ֜ע הַֽמֵּאֲנִ֣ים ׀ לִשְׁמ֣וֹעַ אֶת־ דְּבָרַ֗י הַהֹֽלְכִים֙ בִּשְׁרִר֣וּת לִבָּ֔ם וַיֵּלְכ֗וּ אַֽחֲרֵי֙ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים לְעָבְדָ֖ם וּלְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺ֣ת לָהֶ֑ם וִיהִי֙ כָּאֵז֣וֹר הַזֶּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־ יִצְלַ֖ח לַכֹּֽל׃

11For as a belt is bound around the waist, so I bound all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah to me,' declares the LORD, 'to be my people for my renown and praise and honor. But they have not listened.'

11כִּ֡י כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ יִדְבַּ֨ק הָאֵז֜וֹר אֶל־ מָתְנֵי־ אִ֗ישׁ כֵּ֣ן הִדְבַּ֣קְתִּי אֵ֠לַי אֶת־ כָּל־ בֵּ֨ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל וְאֶת־ כָּל־ בֵּ֤ית יְהוּדָה֙ נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֔ה לִֽהְי֥וֹת לִי֙ לְעָ֔ם וּלְשֵׁ֥ם וְלִתְהִלָּ֖ה וּלְתִפְאָ֑רֶת וְלֹ֖א שָׁמֵֽעוּ׃

12"Say to them: 'This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Every wineskin should be filled with wine.' And if they say to you, 'Don't we know that every wineskin should be filled with wine?'

12וְאָמַרְתָּ֨ אֲלֵיהֶ֜ם אֶת־ הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֗ה ס כֹּֽה־ אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כָּל־ נֵ֖בֶל יִמָּ֣לֵא יָ֑יִן וְאָמְר֣וּ אֵלֶ֔יךָ הֲיָדֹ֙עַ֙ לֹ֣א נֵדַ֔ע כִּ֥י כָל־ נֵ֖בֶל יִמָּ֥לֵא יָֽיִן׃

13then tell them, 'This is what the LORD says: I am going to fill with drunkenness all who live in this land, including the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, the prophets and all those living in Jerusalem.

13וְאָמַרְתָּ֨ אֲלֵיהֶ֜ם כֹּֽה־ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה הִנְנִ֣י מְמַלֵּ֣א אֶת־ כָּל־ יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָ֪רֶץ הַזֹּ֟את וְאֶת־ הַמְּלָכִ֣ים הַיֹּשְׁבִים֩ לְדָוִ֨ד עַל־ כִּסְא֜וֹ וְאֶת־ הַכֹּהֲנִ֣ים וְאֶת־ הַנְּבִיאִ֗ים וְאֵ֛ת כָּל־ יֹשְׁבֵ֥י יְרוּשָׁלִָ֖ם שִׁכָּרֽוֹן׃

14I will smash them one against the other, parents and children alike, declares the LORD. I will allow no pity or mercy or compassion to keep me from destroying them.'"

14וְנִפַּצְתִּים֩ אִ֨ישׁ אֶל־ אָחִ֜יו וְהָאָב֧וֹת וְהַבָּנִ֛ים יַחְדָּ֖ו נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֑ה לֹֽא־ אֶחְמ֧וֹל וְלֹֽא־ אָח֛וּס וְלֹ֥א אֲרַחֵ֖ם מֵהַשְׁחִיתָֽם׃ ס

15Hear and pay attention, do not be arrogant, for the LORD has spoken.

15שִׁמְע֥וּ וְהַאֲזִ֖ינוּ אַל־ תִּגְבָּ֑הוּ כִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבֵּֽר׃

16Give glory to the LORD your God before he brings the darkness, before your feet stumble on the darkening hills. You hope for light, but he will turn it to utter darkness and change it to deep gloom.

16תְּנוּ֩ לַיהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֤ם כָּבוֹד֙ בְּטֶ֣רֶם יַחְשִׁ֔ךְ וּבְטֶ֛רֶם יִֽתְנַגְּפ֥וּ רַגְלֵיכֶ֖ם עַל־ הָ֣רֵי נָ֑שֶׁף וְקִוִּיתֶ֤ם לְאוֹר֙ וְשָׂמָ֣הּ לְצַלְמָ֔וֶת [ישית] (וְשִׁ֖ית) לַעֲרָפֶֽל׃

17If you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly, overflowing with tears, because the LORD's flock will be taken captive.

17וְאִם֙ לֹ֣א תִשְׁמָע֔וּהָ בְּמִסְתָּרִ֥ים תִּבְכֶּֽה־ נַפְשִׁ֖י מִפְּנֵ֣י גֵוָ֑ה וְדָמֹ֨עַ תִּדְמַ֜ע וְתֵרַ֤ד עֵינִי֙ דִּמְעָ֔ה כִּ֥י נִשְׁבָּ֖ה עֵ֥דֶר יְהוָֽה׃ ס

18Say to the king and to the queen mother, "Come down from your thrones, for your glorious crowns will fall from your heads."

18אֱמֹ֥ר לַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וְלַגְּבִירָ֖ה הַשְׁפִּ֣ילוּ שֵׁ֑בוּ כִּ֤י יָרַד֙ מַרְאֲשׁ֣וֹתֵיכֶ֔ם עֲטֶ֖רֶת תִּֽפְאַרְתְּכֶֽם׃

19The cities in the Negev will be shut up, and there will be no one to open them. All Judah will be carried into exile, carried completely away.

19עָרֵ֥י הַנֶּ֛גֶב סֻגְּר֖וּ וְאֵ֣ין פֹּתֵ֑חַ הָגְלָ֧ת יְהוּדָ֛ה כֻּלָּ֖הּ הָגְלָ֥ת שְׁלוֹמִֽים׃ ס

20Look up and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock that was entrusted to you, the sheep of which you boasted?

20[שאי] (שְׂא֤וּ) עֵֽינֵיכֶם֙ [וראי] (וּרְא֔וּ) הַבָּאִ֖ים מִצָּפ֑וֹן אַיֵּ֗ה הָעֵ֙דֶר֙ נִתַּן־ לָ֔ךְ צֹ֖אן תִּפְאַרְתֵּֽךְ׃

21What will you say when the LORD sets over you those you cultivated as your special allies? Will not pain grip you like that of a woman in labor?

21מַה־ תֹּֽאמְרִי֙ כִּֽי־ יִפְקֹ֣ד עָלַ֔יִךְ וְ֠אַתְּ לִמַּ֨דְתְּ אֹתָ֥ם עָלַ֛יִךְ אַלֻּפִ֖ים לְרֹ֑אשׁ הֲל֤וֹא חֲבָלִים֙ יֹאחֱז֔וּךְ כְּמ֖וֹ אֵ֥שֶׁת לֵדָֽה׃

22And if you ask yourself, "Why has this happened to me?"-- it is because of your many sins that your skirts have been torn off and your body mistreated.

22וְכִ֤י תֹאמְרִי֙ בִּלְבָבֵ֔ךְ מַדּ֖וּעַ קְרָאֻ֣נִי אֵ֑לֶּה בְּרֹ֧ב עֲוֺנֵ֛ךְ נִגְל֥וּ שׁוּלַ֖יִךְ נֶחְמְס֥וּ עֲקֵבָֽיִךְ׃

23Can an Ethiopian change his skin or a leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil.

23הֲיַהֲפֹ֤ךְ כּוּשִׁי֙ עוֹר֔וֹ וְנָמֵ֖ר חֲבַרְבֻּרֹתָ֑יו גַּם־ אַתֶּם֙ תּוּכְל֣וּ לְהֵיטִ֔יב לִמֻּדֵ֖י הָרֵֽעַ׃

24"I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind.

24וַאֲפִיצֵ֖ם כְּקַשׁ־ עוֹבֵ֑ר לְר֖וּחַ מִדְבָּֽר׃

25This is your lot, the portion I have decreed for you," declares the LORD, "because you have forgotten me and trusted in false gods.

25זֶ֣ה גוֹרָלֵ֧ךְ מְנָת־ מִדַּ֛יִךְ מֵֽאִתִּ֖י נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁר֙ שָׁכַ֣חַתְּ אוֹתִ֔י וַֽתִּבְטְחִ֖י בַּשָּֽׁקֶר׃

26I will pull up your skirts over your face that your shame may be seen--

26וְגַם־ אֲנִ֛י חָשַׂ֥פְתִּי שׁוּלַ֖יִךְ עַל־ פָּנָ֑יִךְ וְנִרְאָ֖ה קְלוֹנֵֽךְ׃

27your adulteries and lustful neighings, your shameless prostitution! I have seen your detestable acts on the hills and in the fields. Woe to you, Jerusalem! How long will you be unclean?"

27נִֽאֻפַ֤יִךְ וּמִצְהֲלוֹתַ֙יִךְ֙ זִמַּ֣ת זְנוּתֵ֔ךְ עַל־ גְּבָעוֹת֙ בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה רָאִ֖יתִי שִׁקּוּצָ֑יִךְ א֥וֹי לָךְ֙ יְר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם לֹ֣א תִטְהֲרִ֔י אַחֲרֵ֥י מָתַ֖י עֹֽד׃ פ
