Thus says the Lord to me: “Go, and obtain for yourself a linen waistcloth. And you shall place it over your loins, and you shall not put it into water.”

And so I obtained a waistcloth, according to the word of the Lord, and I placed it around my loins.

And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying:

4 to take: take [obj] [the] girdle which to buy which upon loin your and to arise: rise to go: went Euphrates [to] and to hide him there in/on/with cleft [the] crag

“Take the waistcloth, which you obtained, which is around your loins, and, rising up, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in an opening of the rock.”

5 and to go: went and to hide him in/on/with Euphrates like/as as which to command LORD [obj] me

And so I went, and I hid it by the Euphrates, just as the Lord had instructed me.

And it happened that, after many days, the Lord said to me: “Rise up, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the waistcloth, which I instructed you to hide there.”

7 and to go: went Euphrates [to] and to search and to take: take [obj] [the] girdle from [the] place which to hide him there [to] and behold to ruin [the] girdle not to prosper to/for all

And so I went to the Euphrates, and I dug up and took the waistcloth from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the waistcloth had rotted, so that it was not fit for any use.

8 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

9 thus to say LORD thus to ruin [obj] pride Judah and [obj] pride Jerusalem [the] many

“Thus says the Lord: In the same way, I will cause the arrogance of Judah and the arrogance of Jerusalem to rot.

For just as the waistcloth clings to the loins of a man, so have I brought close to me the entire house of Israel and the entire house of Judah, says the Lord, so that they would be to me: a people, and a name, and a praise, and a glory. But they did not listen.
