Hisgalus 3:16-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

16. But because you are posher (lukewarm) and neither kham nor kar, I am about to spew you out of my mouth.

17. Because you say, I am ashir (rich) and have become wealthy and in nothing am I nitzrach (needy), and you do not have da'as that you are the one wretched and pitiful and poor and blind and naked, [HOSHEA 12:8]

18. I counsel you to buy from me zahav (gold) having been purified by eish (fire) --that you may be oisher (rich) --and a kittel, that you may be clothed in lavan (white), and that the bushah (shame) of your nakedness not be made nikar (evident), and eye salve to rub on the eynayim (eyes) of you that you may see.

19. Those for whom I have ahavah I reprove and discipline. Be kham (hot), therefore, in kanous (zeal) for Hashem and make teshuva. [DEVARIM 8:5; MISHLE 3:12]

20. Hinei, I have stood at the delet (door) DOFEK ("knocking," SHIR HASHIRIM 5:2); if anyone hears my kol and opens the delet, indeed I will come in to him and we, the two of us, will dine together at the BEIT HAYAYIN ["Banquet Hall," SHIR HASHIRIM 2:4].

21. The one who wins the nitzachon (victory), I will give to him to sit with me on the Kes (Throne) of me, as I also won the nitzachon and sat with Elohim Avi on the Kes (throne) of him.

22. The one having an ear let him hear what the Ruach Hakodesh says to the Kehillot.
