Chapter 13

1Thus Hashem said to me: “Go buy yourself a loincloth of linen, and put it around your loins, but do not dip it into water.”

koh-a-MAR a-do-NAI e-LAI ha-LOKH v'-ka-NEE-ta L'-KHA e-ZOR pish-TEEM v'-sam-TO al mot-NEE-kha u-va-MA-yim lo te-vi-E-hu

אכֹּה־אָמַ֨ר יְהֹוָ֜ה אֵלַ֗י הָל֞וֹךְ וְקָנִ֤יתָ לְּךָ֙ אֵז֣וֹר פִּשְׁתִּ֔ים וְשַׂמְתּ֖וֹ עַל־מׇתְנֶ֑יךָ וּבַמַּ֖יִם לֹ֥א תְבִאֵֽהוּ׃

2So I bought the loincloth in accordance with Hashem's command, and put it about my loins.

va-e-K'-neh et-ha-E-zor ki-d'-var a-do-NAI va-a-SIM al mot-NAY.

בוָאֶקְנֶ֥ה אֶת־הָאֵז֖וֹר כִּדְבַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֑ה וָאָשִׂ֖ם עַל־מׇתְנָֽי׃

3And the word of Hashem came to me a second time:

vai-HI d'-var a-do-NAI e-LAI she-NEET lay-MOR

גוַיְהִ֧י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֛ה אֵלַ֖י שֵׁנִ֥ית לֵאמֹֽר׃

4“Take the loincloth which you bought, which is about your loins, and go at once to Perath and cover it up there in a cleft of the rock.”

KAkh et-ha-EZOR a-SHER ka-NEE-ta a-SHER al-mo-t'-NE-kha, v'-KUM lekh pra-TAH v'-to-m'-NE-hu SHAM bin-KIK ha-sa-LA

דקַ֧ח אֶת־הָאֵז֛וֹר אֲשֶׁ֥ר קָנִ֖יתָ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־מׇתְנֶ֑יךָ וְקוּם֙ לֵ֣ךְ פְּרָ֔תָה וְטׇמְנֵ֥הוּ שָׁ֖ם בִּנְקִ֥יק הַסָּֽלַע׃

5I went and buried it at Perath, as Hashem had commanded me.

va-E-lekh va-et-m'-NE-hu bi-FRAT ka-a-SHER tzi-VA a-do-NAI o-TI

הוָאֵלֵ֕ךְ וָאֶטְמְנֵ֖הוּ בִּפְרָ֑ת כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהֹוָ֖ה אוֹתִֽי׃

6Then, after a long time, Hashem said to me, “Go at once to Perath and take there the loincloth which I commanded you to bury there.”

vai-HI mi-KETZ ya-MEEM ra-BEEM, va-YO-mer a-do-NAI e-LAI, KUM LEKH p'-RA-tah, v'-KACH mi-SHAM et ha-E-zor a-SHER tzi-vi-TEE-kha l'-to-m'-NO-sham

7So I went to Perath and dug up the loincloth from the place where I had buried it; and found the loincloth ruined; it was not good for anything.

8The word of Hashem came to me:

vai-HI d'-var a-do-NAI e-LAI lay-MOR

חוַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

9Thus said Hashem: Even so will I ruin the overweening pride of Yehuda and Yerushalayim.

10This wicked people who refuse to heed My bidding, who follow the willfulness of their own hearts, who follow other gods and serve them and worship them, shall become like that loincloth, which is not good for anything.

11For as the loincloth clings close to the loins of a man, so I brought close to Me the whole House of Yisrael and the whole House of Yehuda—declares Hashem—that they might be My people, for fame, and praise, and splendor. But they would not obey.

12And speak this word to them: Thus said Hashem, the God of Yisrael: “Every jar should be filled with wine.” And when they say to you, “Don't we know that every jar should be filled with wine?”

13say to them, “Thus said Hashem: I am going to fill with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings who sit on the throne of David, and the Kohanim and the Neviim, and all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim.

14And I will smash them one against the other, parents and children alike—declares Hashem; no pity, compassion, or mercy will stop Me from destroying them.”

15Attend and give ear; be not haughty, For Hashem has spoken.

16Give honor to Hashem your God Before He brings darkness, Before your feet stumble On the mountains in shadow— When you hope for light, And it is turned to darkness And becomes deep gloom.

17For if you will not give heed, My inmost self must weep, Because of your arrogance; My eye must stream and flow With copious tears, Because the flock of Hashem Is taken captive.
