H0853–אֵת–et

It shall happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Yahweh lives; 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, says Yahweh.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So I bought a belt according to the word of Yahweh, and put it on my loins.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your 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 Yahweh commanded me.

אוֹתִֽי׃ (אוֹתִֽ) 'o.T “<obj.>”

It happened after many days, that Yahweh said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Thus says Yahweh, 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, who refuse to hear my words, who 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 belt, which is profitable for nothing.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For as the belt cleaves to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says Yahweh; that they may be to 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 you shall speak to them this word: Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall tell you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then shall you tell them, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on 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 will you say, when he shall set over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? shall not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?

אֹתָ֥ם (אֹתָ֥) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me, says Yahweh; because you have 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.>”

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 on them.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

You shall say this word to them, Let my 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.>”

Have you utterly rejected Judah? has your soul loathed Zion? why have you struck 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 sky give showers? Aren't you he, Yahweh our God? therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

I will appoint over them four kinds, says Yahweh: the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy.

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

You have rejected me, says Yahweh, you are gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with repenting.

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

I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved [ergänzt: them] of children, I have destroyed my people; they didn't return from their ways.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Yahweh said, Most assuredly I will strengthen you for good; most assuredly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

I will make [ergänzt: them] to pass with your enemies into a land which you don't know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on you.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For thus says Yahweh concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became the father of them in this land:

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