P. 50
Justice to him that sits in judgment whom shall I make to understand my Law? I
have said to my chosen, this is the place of my rest hear I will cause the weary to
rest. This is the place of tranquility;
Judah and Jerusalem will not listen. The word of the Lord will be to them filth

men with the infants. Their houses shall be given to others with their fields and
wives together. I will stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land says
the Lord. From the least of them even to the greatest of them everyone commits
treachery. From the false prophets, even to the Priest and high priests every one
of them deals falsely.
The word of the Lord said to me go and buy for you a linen girdle and put it on. I
bought a girdle according to the word of the Lord and put it on. The word of the
Lord came to me the second time and said take the girdle which you have bought

it by the Euphrates, as my Lord commanded me. After many days, my Lord said
to me arise go to the Euphrates and take from there the girdle which I
commanded you to bury there. I went to the Euphrates and dug and took the
