¹ In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and fought against Ashdod and took it; ² at that time Jehovah spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and take the sackcloth off your loins, and take your shoe off your foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. ³ And Jehovah said, Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years, a sign and wonder on Egypt and on Ethiopia; ⁴ so shall the king of Assyria lead away Egypt's prisoners, and the Ethiopian exiles, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with uncovered buttocks, to the shame of Egypt.

Return now, each one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. ¹² And they said, There is no hope; but we will walk after our own ways, and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.

¹ So says Jehovah, Go and get a potter's earthen jar, and assemble from the elders of the people and of the elders of the priests. ² And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom by the entry of Potsherd Gate. And there declare the words that I shall tell you. ³ And say, Hear the Word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and people of Jerusalem. So says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which shall cause the ears of him who hears it to tingle. ⁴ Because they have forsaken Me, and have made this place famous and have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents. ⁵ They have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I never commanded nor spoke, nor did it come into My mind. ⁶ Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The Valley of Slaughter. ⁷ And I will make the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem come to nothing in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of those who seek their lives. And I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the animals of the earth. ⁸ And I will make this city a waste and a hissing. Everyone who passes by shall be amazed and shall hiss because of all its plagues. ⁹ And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall each one eat the flesh of his friend in the siege and distress, with which their enemies and those who seek their lives shall distress them. ¹⁰ Then you shall break the jar before the eyes of the men who go with you, ¹¹ and shall say to them, So says Jehovah of Hosts, Even so I will break this people of this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury them in Tophet until there is no place left to bury. ¹² I will do this to this place, says Jehovah, and to its people, and make this city as Tophet. ¹³ And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be as defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of the heavens, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods. ¹⁴ Then Jeremiah came from Tophet, where Jehovah had sent him to prophesy. And he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people, ¹⁵ So says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have spoken against it, because they have hardened their necks so that they might not hear My Words.

¹ And you, son of man, take a tile to yourself, and lay it before you, and portray on it the city Jerusalem. ² And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mound against it. Also set the camp against it, and set battering rams against it all around. ³ And take an iron griddle to yourself, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city. And set your face against it, and it shall be under attack. And you shall set a battle against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel. ⁴ Also lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; according to the number of days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity. ⁵ For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days. So you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. ⁶ And when you have fulfilled them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days; a day for a year; a day for a year, I have set for you. ⁷ And you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it. ⁸ And, behold, I will lay bands on you, and you shall not turn yourself from one side to another until you have ended the days of your siege. ⁹ Take also to yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. According to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat of it. ¹⁰ And your food which you shall eat shall be by weight twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it. ¹¹ You shall also drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink. ¹² And you shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it with dung of the excrement of man, in their sight. ¹³ And Jehovah said, Even so shall the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations, where I will drive them. ¹⁴ Then I said, Ah Lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has not been defiled. For from my youth up, even till now, I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither did there come any unclean flesh into my mouth. ¹⁵ Then He said to me, Lo, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread with it. ¹⁶ And He said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem. And they shall eat bread by weight, and with care. And they shall drink water by measure, and in silence, ¹⁷ so that they may lack bread and water, and be stricken dumb with one another, and waste away in their iniquity.

¹ And you, son of man, take a sharp sword to yourself, take a barber's razor also, and cause it to pass on your head and on your beard.

I have set it in the middle of the nations, and all around her are the lands. ⁶ And she has changed My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and defiled My Laws more than the countries that are all around her; for they have rejected My judgments and My Laws; they have not walked in them. ⁷ Therefore so says the Lord Jehovah: Because you multiplied more than the nations that are all around you, and have not walked in My Laws, neither have kept My judgments, nor have done according to the judgments of the nations all around you; ⁸ therefore so says the Lord Jehovah; Behold, I, even I, am against you, and will carry out judgments in your midst before the nations. ⁹ And I will do in you that which I have not done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations. ¹⁰ So the fathers shall eat the sons in your midst, and the sons shall eat their fathers. And I will execute judgments in you, and I will scatter the whole remnant of you into all the winds. ¹¹ Therefore, as I live, says the Lord Jehovah, surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw; nor shall My eye spare you, nor will I have any pity. ¹² A third part of you shall die with the plague, and shall be consumed with the famine in your midst. And a third part shall fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. ¹³ So My anger shall be fulfilled, and I will cause My fury to rest on them, and I will be comforted. And they shall know that I Jehovah have spoken it in My zeal, when I have fulfilled My fury in them. ¹⁴ And I will make you a waste and a curse among the nations that are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by. ¹⁵ So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, a chastening and a horror to the nations which are all around you, when I shall execute judgments against you in anger and in fury and in rebukes among them. I Jehovah have spoken it. ¹⁶ When I shall send on them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their ruin, which I will send to destroy you; even I will increase the famine on you, and break your staff of bread; ¹⁷ yea, I will send on you famine and evil beasts, and you will be bereaved. And pestilence and blood shall pass among you; and I shall bring a sword on you. I Jehovah have spoken.

³ Therefore, son of man, prepare for yourself vessels for exile, and go into exile by day before their eyes. And you shall be exiled from your place to another place before their eyes. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house. ⁴ And you shall bring out your vessels, as vessels for exile, by day before their eyes. And you shall go out at evening before their eyes, as those going into exile. ⁵ Dig through the wall before their eyes, and carry out through it. ⁶ Before their eyes you shall carry it on your shoulders, carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face so that you do not see the ground, for I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel. ⁷ And I did as I was commanded. By day I brought out my vessel as a vessel for exile. And in the evening I dug by hand through the wall. I brought it out in the dark, and I carried it on my shoulder before their eyes. ⁸ And in the morning the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying, ⁹ Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing? ¹⁰ Say to them, So says the Lord Jehovah: This burden concerns the king in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel among them. ¹¹ Say, I am your sign: As I have done, so it shall be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity. ¹² And the king who is among them shall carry burdens on his shoulder in the dark, and shall go out. They shall dig through the wall to carry out by it. He shall hide his face so that he does not see the ground with his eye. ¹³ I will also spread My net on him, and He shall be taken in My snare. And I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans. Yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there. ¹⁴ And I will scatter to every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them. ¹⁵ And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall scatter them among the nations and scatter them in the countries. ¹⁶ But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the plague, so that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

¹⁰ I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions and have used parables by the hand of the prophets.
