‘Again, if ^H518 a man ^H376 sets ^H6942 apart ^H6942 as ^H6942 holy ^H6942 to Yahweh ^H3068 a portion of the fields ^H7704 of his own possession ^H272, then your valuation ^H6187 shall be [fn]proportionate ^H6310 to the seed ^H2233 needed for it: a [fn]homer ^H2563 of barley ^H8184 seed ^H2233 at [fn]fifty ^H2572 shekels ^H8255 of silver ^H3701.

‘How ^H637 much ^H637 more ^H637 those who dwell ^H7931 in ^H7931 houses ^H1004 of clay ^H2563,

Whose ^H834 foundation ^H3247 is in the dust ^H6083,

Who are crushed ^H1792 before ^H6440 the moth ^H6211!

‘Remember ^H2142 now ^H4994, that You have made ^H6213 me as clay ^H2563;

And would You turn ^H7725 me into dust ^H6083 again ^H7725?

“Your memorable ^H2146 sayings ^H2146 are proverbs ^H4912 of ashes ^H665;

Your defenses ^H1354 are defenses ^H1354 of clay ^H2563.

“Though ^H518 he piles ^H6651 up ^H6651 silver ^H3701 like dust ^H6083

And prepares ^H3559 garments ^H4403 as plentiful as the clay ^H2563,

“He has cast ^H3384 me into the mire ^H2563,

And I have become ^H4911 like ^H4911 dust ^H6083 and ashes ^H665.

“Behold ^H2005, I belong to God ^H410 like you;

I too ^H1571 have been [fn]formed ^H7169 out ^H7169 of the clay ^H2563.

“It is changed ^H2015 like clay ^H2563 under the seal ^H2368;

And they stand ^H3320 forth ^H3320 like ^H3644 clothing ^H3830.

“For ten ^H6235 [fn]acres ^H6776 of vineyard ^H3754 will yield ^H6213 only one ^H259 [fn]bath ^H1324 of wine,

And a [fn]homer ^H2563 of seed ^H2233 will yield ^H6213 but an [fn]ephah ^H374 of grain.”

I send ^H7971 it against a godless ^H2611 nation ^H1471

And command ^H6680 it against ^H5921 the people ^H5971 of My fury ^H5678

To capture ^H7997 spoil ^H7998 and to seize ^H962 plunder ^H957,

And to [fn]trample ^H4823 them down ^H4823 like mud ^H2563 in the streets ^H2351.

You turn ^H2016 things around ^H2016!

Shall the potter ^H3335 be considered ^H2803 [fn]as equal with the clay ^H2563,

That what ^H4639 is made ^H4639 would say ^H559 to its maker ^H6213, “He did not make ^H6213 me”;

Or what ^H3336 is formed ^H3335 say ^H559 to him who formed ^H3335 it, “He has no ^H3808 understanding ^H995”?

“I have awakened ^H5782 one from the north ^H6828, and he has come ^H857;

From the rising ^H4217 of the sun ^H8121 he will call ^H7121 on My name ^H8034;

And he will come ^H935 upon officials ^H5461 as upon mortar ^H2563,

Even as the potter ^H3335 treads ^H7429 clay ^H2563.”

“Woe ^H1945 to the one who contends ^H7378 with his [fn]Maker ^H3335—

An earthenware ^H2789 vessel ^H2789 [fn]among ^H854 the vessels ^H2789 of earth ^H127!

Will the clay ^H2563 say ^H559 to the [fn]potter ^H3335, ‘What ^H4100 are you doing ^H6213?’

Or the thing ^H6467 you are making ^H6467 say, ‘He has ^H369 no ^H369 hands ^H3027’?

But now ^H6258, O Yahweh ^H3068, You are our Father ^H1;

We are the clay ^H2563, and You our potter ^H3335;

And all ^H3605 of us are the work ^H4639 of Your hand ^H3027.

Draw ^H7579 for yourself water ^H4325 for the siege ^H4692!

Strengthen ^H2388 your fortifications ^H4013!

Go ^H935 into the clay ^H2916 and tread ^H7429 the mortar ^H2563!

[fn]Take ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of the brick ^H4404 mold ^H4404!

You tread ^H1869 on the sea ^H3220 with Your horses ^H5483,

On the surge ^H2563 of many ^H7227 waters ^H4325.
