H0853–אֵת–et

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

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith Jehovah.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And 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 hole of the rock.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

אוֹתִֽי׃ (אוֹתִֽ) 'o.T “<obj.>”

And it came to pass at the end of 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.>”

And I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and behold, the girdle was spoiled, it was good for nothing.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

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

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

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For as a 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 might 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.>”

And thou shalt speak unto them this word: Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Every skin shall be filled with wine. And they will say unto thee, Do we not very well know that every skin shall be filled with wine?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings that sit for David upon his 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 visit thee, since thou thyself hast trained them to be princes in chief over thee? Shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?

אֹתָ֥ם (אֹתָ֥) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

This shall be thy lot, thy measured portion from me, saith Jehovah; because thou hast forgotten me, and confided in falsehood.

אוֹתִ֔י (אוֹתִ֔) 'o.T “<obj.>”

When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer up burnt-offering and oblation, I will not accept them: for I will consume them by sword, and by famine, and by 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 there shall be none to bury them, them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters; and 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 not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

-- Hast thou then utterly rejected Judah? Doth thy soul loathe Zion? Why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? Peace is looked for, and there is no good, -- and a time of healing, and behold terror!

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, Jehovah, our God? And we wait upon thee; for thou hast made all these things.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For I will visit them with four kinds [ergänzt: of punishments], saith Jehovah: the sword to slay, and dogs to tear, and the fowl 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 cast me off, saith Jehovah, thou art gone backward; and I have stretched out my hand against thee, and will destroy thee: I am become weary of repenting.

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

And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave of children [ergänzt: and] destroy my people: they have not returned from their ways.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Jehovah said, Verily I will set thee free for [ergänzt: thy] good; verily I will cause the enemy to meet thee kindly in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

and I will make [ergänzt: them] to pass with thine enemies into a land that thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger; it 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 bear them, and concerning their fathers that beget them in this land:

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