“LORD ^H3068, bless ^H1288 his strength ^H2428,

And accept ^H7521 the work ^H6467 of his hands ^H3027;

Smash ^H4272 the [fn]hips ^H4975 of those who rise ^H6965 up ^H6965 against him,

And those who hate ^H8130 him, so ^H4480 that ^H4480 they do not ^H4480 rise ^H6965 again.”

“Now you yourself ^H859 also ^H1571 know ^H3045 what ^H834 Joab ^H3097 the son ^H1121 of Zeruiah ^H6870 did ^H6213 to me, what ^H834 he did ^H6213 to the two ^H8147 commanders ^H8269 of the armies ^H6635 of Israel ^H3478, to Abner ^H74 the son ^H1121 of Ner ^H5369 and to Amasa ^H6021 the son ^H1121 of Jether ^H3500, whom he killed ^H2026; he also [fn]shed ^H7760 the blood ^H1818 of war ^H4421 in peace ^H7965. And he put ^H5414 the blood ^H1818 of war ^H4421 on his belt ^H2290 that was on his waist ^H4975, and on his sandals ^H5275 that were on his feet ^H7272.

But his servants ^H5650 said ^H559 to him, “Behold ^H2009 now ^H4994, we have heard ^H8085 that the kings ^H4428 of the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 are merciful ^H2617 kings ^H4428. Please ^H4994 let’s put ^H7760 sackcloth ^H8242 [fn]around our waists ^H4975 and ropes ^H2256 on our heads ^H7218, and go ^H3318 out ^H3318 to the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478; perhaps ^H194 he will let ^H2421 [fn]you live ^H2421.”

Then he said ^H559 to Gehazi ^H1522, “[fn]Get ^H2296 H4975 ready ^H2296 H4975 and take ^H3947 my staff ^H4938 in your hand ^H3027, and go ^H1980; if ^H3588 you meet ^H4672 anyone ^H376, do not [fn]greet ^H1288 him, and if ^H3588 anyone ^H376 [fn]greets ^H1288 you, do not reply ^H6030 to him. And lay ^H7760 my staff ^H4938 on the boy’s ^H5288 face ^H6440.”

Now Elisha ^H477 the prophet ^H5030 summoned ^H7121 one ^H259 of the sons ^H1121 of the prophets ^H5030 and said ^H559 to him, “[fn]Get ^H2296 H4975 ready ^H2296 H4975 and take ^H3947 this ^H2088 flask ^H6378 of oil ^H8081 in your hand ^H3027, and go ^H1980 to Ramoth-gilead ^H7433.

“He undoes ^H6605 the binding ^H4147 of kings ^H4428,

And ties ^H631 a loincloth ^H232 around their waist ^H4975.

“Behold ^H2009, his strength ^H3581 in his waist ^H4975,

And his power ^H202 in the muscles ^H8306 of his belly ^H990.

You brought ^H935 us into the net ^H4686;

You laid ^H7760 an oppressive ^H4157 burden ^H4157 upon [fn]us ^H4975.

May their eyes ^H5869 grow ^H2821 dim ^H2821 so ^H4480 that ^H4480 they cannot ^H4480 see ^H7200,

And make their hips ^H4975 shake ^H4571 continually ^H8548.

The [fn]strutting ^H2223 H4975 rooster ^H2223 or ^H176 the male ^H8495 goat ^H8495,

And a king ^H4428 when his army ^H510 is with him.

She surrounds ^H2296 her waist ^H4975 with strength ^H5797

And makes ^H553 her arms ^H2220 strong ^H553.

Also righteousness ^H6664 will be the belt ^H232 around His hips ^H4975,

And faithfulness ^H530 the belt ^H232 around His waist ^H2504.

For ^H5921 this ^H5921 H3651 reason ^H5921 H3651 my loins ^H4975 are full ^H4390 of anguish ^H2479;

Pains ^H6735 have seized ^H270 me like the pains ^H6735 of a woman in ^H3205 labor ^H3205.

I am so ^H4480 bewildered ^H5753 I cannot ^H4480 hear ^H8085, so ^H4480 terrified ^H926 I cannot ^H4480 see ^H7200.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559 to Cyrus ^H3566 His anointed ^H4899,

Whom ^H834 I have taken ^H2388 by the right ^H3225 hand ^H3225,

To subdue ^H7286 nations ^H1471 before ^H6440 him

And [fn]to undo ^H6605 the weapons belt on the waist ^H4975 of kings ^H4428;

To open ^H6605 doors ^H1817 before ^H6440 him so that gates ^H8179 will not be shut ^H5462:

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to me: “Go ^H1980 and buy ^H7069 yourself a linen ^H6593 undergarment ^H232 and put ^H7760 it around ^H5921 your waist ^H4975, but do not put ^H935 it in water ^H4325.”

Then behold ^H2009, the man ^H376 clothed ^H3847 in linen ^H906, at whose ^H834 waist ^H4975 was the scribe’s kit ^H7083, [fn]reported ^H7725 H1697, saying ^H559, “I have done ^H6213 just ^H834 as ^H834 You have commanded ^H6680 me.”

“When they took ^H8610 hold ^H8610 of you with the hand ^H3709,

You broke ^H7533 and tore ^H1234 all ^H3605 their [fn]hands ^H3802;

And when they leaned ^H8172 on you,

You broke ^H7665 and made all ^H3605 their hips ^H4975 [fn]shake ^H4571.”

“Then I will turn ^H2015 your festivals ^H2282 into mourning ^H60,

And all ^H3605 your songs ^H7892 into songs ^H7015 of ^H7015 mourning ^H7015;

And I will put ^H5927 sackcloth ^H8242 around ^H5921 everyone’s ^H3605 waist ^H4975,

And [fn]baldness ^H7144 on every ^H3605 head ^H7218.

And I will make ^H7760 it like a time of mourning ^H60 for an only ^H3173 son ^H3173,

And the end ^H319 of it will be like a bitter ^H4751 day ^H3117.

[fn]The one ^H4650 who ^H4650 scatters ^H4650 has come ^H5927 up ^H5927 against ^H5921 [fn]you.

Keep ^H5341 watch ^H5341 over ^H5341 the fortress ^H4694, watch ^H6822 the road ^H1870;

[fn]Bind ^H2388 up your waist ^H4975, [fn]summon ^H553 all ^H3966 your strength ^H3581.

She is emptied ^H950! Yes, she is desolate ^H4003 and waste ^H1110!

Hearts ^H3820 are melting ^H4549 and knees ^H1290 wobbling ^H6375!

Also trembling ^H2479 is in [fn]the entire ^H3605 body ^H4975,

And all ^H3605 their faces ^H6440 have become ^H6908 pale ^H6289!
