לָכֵ֞ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֨ר יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ עַל־הַנְּבִאִ֔ים הִנְנִ֨י מַאֲכִ֤יל אוֹתָם֙ לַֽעֲנָ֔ה וְהִשְׁקִתִ֖ים מֵי־רֹ֑אשׁ כִּ֗י מֵאֵת֙ נְבִיאֵ֣י יְרוּשָׁלִַ֔ם יָצְאָ֥ה חֲנֻפָּ֖ה לְכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
laken koh-ʾamar yhvah ṣbaʾvot ʿal-hanbiʾiym hinniy maʾakiyl ʾvotam laʿanah vhishqitiym mey-roʾsh kiy meʾet nbiyʾey yrvshaliam yaṣʾah ḥanupah lkal-haʾareṣ
