The Ruined Waistband
1
Thus said IAUA to me: 'Go, and get you a linen girdle, and put it on your loins, and put it not in water.'
E | KA- | EMR | IAUA | ELI | ALUK

So I got a girdle according to the word of IAUA, and put it on my loins.

The word of IAUA came to me the second time, saying:

|
| and·be | ? | IAUA | I-will·to·he-will | ? | to·say

'Take the girdle that you have gotten, which is on your loins, and arise, go to Perath, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.'

So I went, and hid it in Perath, as IAUA commanded me.

It came to pass after many days, that IAUA said to me: 'Arise, go to Perath, and take the girdle from there, which I commanded you to hide there.'

Then I went to Perath, 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.

|

|
|

Thus says IAUA: After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem,

even 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, that it be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing.

For as the girdle 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 IAUA, that they might be to Me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory; but they would not hearken.

Moreover you shall speak to them this word: Thus says IAUA, the God of Israel: 'Every bottle is filled with wine'; and when they shall say to you: 'Do we not know that every bottle is filled with wine?'
