| 1 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ | 1 The word of the LORD came to me: |
| 2 ܒܪܢܫܐ ܣܝܡ ܐ̈ܦܝܟ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ ܘܚܘܪ ܠܬܝܡܢܐ ܘܐܬܢܒܐ ܥܠ ܥܒܐ ܕܒܬܝܡܢܐ | 2 "Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries; prophesy against the land of Israel |

| 4 ܘܢܚܙܘܢܗ̇ ܟܠ ܒܣܪ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܘܚ̇ܕܬܗ̇ ܘܠܐ ܬܕܥܟ | 4 Because I will cut off from you both righteous and wicked, therefore my sword shall go out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north; |

| 6 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ | 6 Sigh therefore, son of man; sigh with breaking heart and bitter grief before their eyes. |
| 7 ܒܪܢܫܐ ܣܝܡ ܐ̈ܦܝܟ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܚܘܪ ܒܡܩܕܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܢܒܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ | 7 And when they say to you, 'Why do you sigh?' you shall say, 'Because of the tidings. When it comes, every heart will melt and all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes and it will be fulfilled," says the Lord GOD. |
| 8 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܟܝ ܘܐܦܩ ܣܦܣܪܝ ܡܢ ܚܠܬܗ̇ ܘܐܘܒܕ ܡܢܟܝ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ | 8 And the word of the LORD came to me: |

Smite therefore upon your thigh. |
| 13 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ | 13 For it will not be a testing--what could it do if you despise the rod?" says the Lord GOD. |
| 14 ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܬܢܒܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܣܝܦܐ ܣܝܦܐ ܐܬܠܛܫ | 14 "Prophesy therefore, son of man; clap your hands and let the sword come down twice, yea thrice, the sword for those to be slain; it is the sword for the great slaughter, which encompasses them, |

And make a signpost, make it at the head of the way to a city; |
