גַּם חָצְנִי֙ נָעַ֔רְתִּי וָאֹמְרָ֗ה כָּ֣כָה יְנַעֵ֣ר הָאֱלֹהִ֣ים אֶת כָּל הָאִ֡ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא יָקִ֡ים אֶת הַדָּבָ֡ר הַזֶּ֡ה מִבֵּית֡וֹ וּמִיגִיע֡וֹ וְכָ֡כָה יִהְיֶ֡ה נָע֡וּר וָרֵ֡יק וַיֹּאמְר֡וּ כָּ֡ל הַקָּהָ֡ל אָמֵ֡ן וַיְהַלְל֡וּ אֶת יְהוָ֡ה וַיַּ֣עַשׂ הָעָ֡ם כַּדָּבָ֡ר הַזֶּֽה׃

King James Version (KJV)

Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.

Modern English

I also shook out the fold of my garment and said: So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not keep this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied. And all the assembly said Amen and praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.
