11. As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth osher (riches), and not by mishpat, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a naval (fool).
12. A glorious high kisse from the beginning is the place of Mikdasheinu (our Beis HaMikdash).
13. Hashem, the Mikveh Yisroel, all that forsake Thee shall be put to shame, and they that turn away from Me shall be written down in ha'aretz, because they have forsaken Hashem, the Makor Mayim Chayyim (Fountain of Living Waters).
14. Heal me, Hashem, and I shall be healed; hoshi'eini (save me), and I shall be saved; for Thou art my tehillah (praise).
15. Hinei, they say unto me, Where is the Devar Hashem? Let it come now.
16. As for me, I have not hastened away from being a ro'eh (shepherd) to follow Thee; neither did I lust for the woeful day; Thou knowest; that which came out of my lips was before Thee.
17. Be not a mechittah (terror) unto me; Thou art my refuge in the Yom Ra'ah (Day of Evil, Day of Disaster, Day of Doom).
18. Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the Yom Ra'ah, and destroy them with mishneh (double) destruction.
19. Thus said Hashem unto me; Go and stand in the Sha'ar Bnei HaAm, whereby the melachim of Yehudah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the Sha'arei Yerushalayim;
20. And say unto them, Hear ye the Devar Hashem, ye melachim of Yehudah, and all Yehudah, and all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, that enter in by these she'arim (gates);
21. Thus saith Hashem: Be shomer over your nefashot, and bear no massa (burden) on Shabbos, nor bring through the Sha'arei Yerushalayim;
22. Neither carry forth a massa (burden) out of your batim (houses) on Shabbos, neither do ye any melachah (work), but keep Shabbos set apart as kodesh, just as I commanded Avoteichem.
23. But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ozen (ear), but made their stubborn neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive musar (discipline).
