H0853–אֵת–et

And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Jehovah liveth; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith Jehovah.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So I bought a girdle according to the word of Jehovah, and put it upon my loins.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Jehovah commanded me.

אוֹתִֽי׃ (אוֹתִֽ) 'o.T “<obj.>”

And it came to pass after many days, that Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Thus saith Jehovah, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

This evil people, that refuse to hear my words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah; that they may be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word: Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֵ֛ת (אֵ֛ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

What wilt thou say, when he shall set over thee as head those whom thou hast thyself taught to be friends to thee? shall not sorrows take hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?

אֹתָ֥ם (אֹתָ֥) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

This is thy lot, the portion measured unto thee from me, saith Jehovah; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

אוֹתִ֔י (אוֹתִ֔) 'o.T “<obj.>”

When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

אוֹתָֽם׃ (אוֹתָֽ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them-them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And thou shalt say this word unto them, Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Jehovah our God? therefore we will wait for thee; for thou hast made all these things.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith Jehovah: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Thou hast rejected me, saith Jehovah, thou art gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against thee, and destroyed thee; I am weary with repenting.

אֹתִ֛י (אֹתִ֛) 'o.T “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved [supplied: them] of children, I have destroyed my people; they returned not from their ways.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Jehovah said, Verily I will strengthen thee for good; verily I will cause the enemy to make supplication unto thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And I will make [supplied: them] to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not; for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For thus saith Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land:

אוֹתָ֗ם (אוֹתָ֗) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”אוֹתָ֖ם (אוֹתָ֖) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”
