Jeremiah 13:1-14

1ThusH3541 saidH559 Jehovah unto me: GoH1980 and buyH7069 thee a linenH6593 girdle, and putH7760 it upon thy loinsH4975; but dip it not in waterH4325.

2And I boughtH7069 a girdle according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah, and putH7760 it upon my loinsH4975.

3And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me the secondH8145 timeH8145, sayingH559,

4TakeH3947 the girdle that thou hast boughtH7069, which is upon thy loinsH4975, and ariseH6965, go to the EuphratesH6578, and hideH2934 it there in a hole of the rockH5553.

5So I went and hidH2934 it by the EuphratesH6578, as Jehovah had commandedH6680 me.

6And it came to pass at the endH7093 of manyH7227 daysH3117, that Jehovah saidH559 unto me, AriseH6965, go to the EuphratesH6578, and takeH3947 the girdle from thence which I commandedH6680 thee to hideH2934 there.

7And I went to the EuphratesH6578, and digged, and tookH3947 the girdle from the placeH4725 whereH834 I had hidH2934 it; and behold, the girdle was spoiledH7843, it was good for nothing.

8And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559,

9ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: After this manner will I spoil the prideH1347 of JudahH3063, and the greatH7227 prideH1347 of JerusalemH3389.

10This evilH7451 peopleH5971, who refuse to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, who walkH1980 in the stubbornnessH8307 of their heartH3820, and goH1980 after otherH312 1godsH430, to serveH5647 them and to worship them, shall even beH1961 as this girdle which is good for nothing.

11For as a girdle cleaveth to the loinsH4975 of a manH376, soH3651 have I caused to cleave unto me the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the whole houseH1004 of JudahH3063, saith Jehovah; that they might beH1961 unto me for a peopleH5971, and for a nameH8034, and for a praiseH8416, and for a gloryH8597: but they would not hearH8085.

12And thou shalt speak unto them this wordH1697: ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Every skin shall be filledH4390 with wineH3196. And they will sayH559 unto thee, Do we not very well knowH3045 that every skin shall be filledH4390 with wineH3196?

13And thou shalt sayH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Behold, I will fillH4390 all the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776, and the kingsH4428 that sitH3427 for DavidH1732 upon his throneH3678, and the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, with drunkennessH7943.

14And I will dash them oneH376 against another, both the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162, saith Jehovah; I will not pityH2347, nor spareH2550, nor have mercyH7355 so as not to destroyH7843 them.
