slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every
field wither, for the wickedness of those that dwell in it?
The beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they
said, vuvh 2071 shall not see our latter end.
5 If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied
you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the
land of shalom, in which you trust, they wearied you, then
how will you manage to cross the raging Yarden
River? 2072
6 For even your brothers, and the bayit of your abba,
even they have dealt treacherously with you; yes, they
have called a multitude after you: believe them not,
though they speak flattering words to you. 2073
7 I have forsaken My Bayit, I have left My heritage; I
have given the dearly beloved of My being into the hand
of her enemies.
8 My heritage is to Me as a lion in the forest; it roars
against Me: therefore have I hated it.
9 My heritage is to Me as a speckled bird of prey, and the
birds all around are against her; come and assemble all
the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard, they
have trodden My portion 2074 under foot, and they have
made My pleasant portion into a desolate wilderness.
11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it hurts
Me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man
takes this to lev.
12 The plunderers have come upon all the bare heights
throughout the wilderness: for the sword of vuvh shall
devour it from the one end of the land even to the other
end of the land: no flesh shall have shalom.
13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they
have put themselves to hard work, but shall not profit:
and they shall be ashamed of your harvest because of the
fierce anger of vuvh.
14 This says vuvh against all my evil neighbors, that
touch the inheritance that I have caused My people
Yisrael 2075 to inherit; See, I will pluck them out of their
land, and pluck out Beit Yahudah from among them. 2076
15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked
them out I will shuv, and have rachamim on them, and
will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and
every man to his land.
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn
the derech of My people, to swear by My Name, vuvh
lives; as they taught My people to swear by Ba’al-the
lord; then shall they be rebuilt in the midst of My people.
17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and
destroy that nation, 2077 says vuvh.
13
This says vuvh to me, Go and get a linen girdle, and
put it on your loins, and do not put it in mayim.
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of vuvh, and put
it on my loins.
3 And the word of vuvh came to me the second time,
saying,
4 Take the girdle that you have got, which is upon your
loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates River, and hide it
there in a hole of the rock.
5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as vuvh commanded
me.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that vuvh said to
YIRMEYAHU - JEREMIAH
- 313 -
me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from
there, which I commanded you to hide there.
7 Then I went to Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle
from the place where I had hidden it: and, see, the girdle
was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
8 Then the word of vuvh came to me, saying,
9 This says vuvh, After this manner will I mar the pride of
Yahudah, and the great pride of Yahrushalayim.
10 This evil people, who refuse to listen to My words, who
have their walk in the imagination of their lev, and have
their halacha after other elohim, to serve them, and to
worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is tov for
nothing.
11 For as the girdle cleaves to the loins of a man, so have
I caused to cleave to Me the whole of Beit Yisrael and the
whole of Beit Yahudah, 2078 says vuvh; that they might be
to Me for a people, and for a name, and for a hallel, and
for a tifereth: but they would not hear.
12 Therefore you shall speak to them this word; This says
vuvh Elohim of Yisrael, Every jug shall be filled with
wine: and they shall say to you, Do we not certainly know
that every jug shall be filled with wine?
13 Then shall you say to them, This says vuvh, See, I will
fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the melechim that
sit upon Dawid's kesay, and the Kohanim, and the neviim,
and all the inhabitants of Yahrushalayim, with
drunkenness. 2079
14 And I will dash them one against another, even the
ahvot and the sons together, says vuvh: I will not pity, nor
spare, nor have rachamim, but destroy them.
15 Listen, and give ear; be not proud: for vuvh has
spoken.
16 Give tifereth to vuvh your Elohim, before He causes
darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark
mountains, and, while you look for light, He turns it into
the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.
17 But if you will not listen, my being shall weep in
secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep much,
and run down with tears, because vuvh's flock is carried
away to exile.
18 Say to the melech and to the rulers, Humble
yourselves, sit down: for your rule shall come down, even
the keter of your tifereth.
19 The cities of the south shall be shut, and none shall
open them: Yahudah shall be carried away into exile,
even all of it; it shall be fully carried away into exile.
20 Lift up your eyes, and see them that come from the
north: where is the flock that was given to you, your
beautiful flock?
21 What will you say when He shall punish you? For you
have taught them to be captains, and as chiefs over you:
shall they not have sorrow, as a woman in labor?
22 And if you say in your lev, Why do these things come
upon me? For the greatness of your iniquity are your
skirts uncovered, and your body 2080 made bare.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin color, or the
leopard its spots? Only then will you do tov; who are
accustomed to do evil.
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passes
away by the wind of the wilderness.
25 This is your lot, the portion of your measures from Me,
says vuvh; because you have forgotten Me, and trusted in
falsehood.
