Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 013

 

013:001Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle,
and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.

 

013:002So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put
it on my loins.

 

013:003And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,

 

013:004Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins,
and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the
rock.

 

013:005So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

 

013:006And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto
me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence,
which I commanded thee to hide there.

 

013:007Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from
the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was
marred, it was profitable for nothing.

 

013:008Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

 

013:009Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of
Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

 

013:010This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in
the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to
serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle,
which is good for nothing.

 

013:011For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I
caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the
whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto
me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a
glory: but they would not hear.

 

013:012Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the
LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine:
and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that
every bottle shall be filled with wine?

 

013:013Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I
will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings
that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the
prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with
drunkenness.

 

013:014And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and
the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare,
nor have mercy, but destroy them.

 

013:015Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken.

 

013:016Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and
before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while
ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and
make it gross darkness.

 

013:017But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret
places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run
down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away
captive.

 

013:018Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit
down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown
of your glory.

 

013:019The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open
them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall
be wholly carried away captive.

 

013:020Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north:
where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?

 

013:021What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast
taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not
sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?

 

013:022And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things
upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts
discovered, and thy heels made bare.

 

013:023Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

 

013:024Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away
by the wind of the wilderness.

 

013:025This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith
the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in
falsehood.

 

013:026Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy
shame may appear.

 

013:027I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness
of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the
fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made
clean? when shall it once be?
