Jeremiah 13:2-25
2So I boughtH7069 the undergarmentH232 in accordance with the 1wordH1697 of the LordH3068, and putH7760 it aroundH5921 my waistH4975. 3Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me a secondH8145 timeH8145, sayingH559, 4“TakeH3947 the undergarmentH232 that you boughtH7069, whichH834 is aroundH5921 your waistH4975, and ariseH6965, goH1980 to the 2EuphratesH6578 and hideH2934 it thereH8033 in a creviceH5357 of the rockH5553.” 5So I wentH1980 and hidH2934 it by the EuphratesH6578, 3as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 me. 6AfterH4480 manyH7227 daysH3117 the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “AriseH6965, goH1980 to the EuphratesH6578 and takeH3947 from thereH8033 the undergarmentH232 whichH834 I commandedH6680 you to hideH2934 thereH8033.” 7Then I wentH1980 to the EuphratesH6578 and dugH2658, and I tookH3947 the undergarmentH232 from the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 I had hiddenH2934 it; and beholdH2009, the undergarmentH232 was ruinedH7843, it wasH6743 completelyH3605 uselessH3808H6743.
8Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 9“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘To the sameH3602 extentH3602 I will destroyH7843 the 4prideH1347 of JudahH3063 and the greatH7227 prideH1347 of JerusalemH3389. 10ThisH2088 wickedH7451 peopleH5971, whoH3987 5refuseH3987 to listenH8085 to My wordsH1697, who 6walkH1980 in the stubbornnessH8307 of their heartsH3820 and have followedH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them and to bowH2331 downH2331 to them, let them be just like thisH2088 undergarmentH232 whichH834 isH6743 completelyH3605 uselessH3808H6743. 11For as the undergarmentH232 clingsH1692 to the waistH4975 of a manH376, soH3651 I made the entireH3605 householdH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the entireH3605 householdH1004 of JudahH3063 7clingH1692 to Me,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘so that they might be My peopleH5971, for 89renownH8034, for 10praiseH8416, and for gloryH8597; but they 11did not listenH8085.’
12“Therefore you are to speakH559 thisH2088 wordH1697 to them. ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “EveryH3605 jugH5035 is to be filledH4390 with wineH3196.”’ And when they sayH559 to you, ‘Do we not veryH3045 wellH3045 knowH3045 that everyH3605 jugH5035 is to be filledH4390 with wineH3196?’ 13then sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am going to fillH4390 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of thisH2088 landH776--the kingsH4428 who sitH3427 for DavidH1732 on his throneH3678, the priestsH3548, the prophetsH5030, and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389--with 12drunkennessH7943! 14Then I will 13smashH5310 them againstH413 eachH376 otherH251, both the 14fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3164,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “I will 15not haveH2550 compassionH2550 norH3808 beH2347 troubledH2347 norH3808 takeH7355 pityH7355 so as to keepH4480 fromH4480 destroyingH7843 them.”’”
15ListenH8085 and payH238 attentionH238, do not beH1361 16haughtyH1361; For the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.1617GiveH5414 gloryH3519 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 BeforeH2962 He bringsH2821 18darknessH2821 And beforeH2962 your 19feetH7272 stumbleH5062 On the mountainsH2022 in the darkH5399, And while you are hopingH6960 for lightH216 He makesH7760 it into 20gloomH6757, And turnsH7896 it into thickH6205 darknessH6205.17But 21ifH518 you do not listenH8085 to it, My soulH5315 will 22weepH1058 in secretH4565 for such prideH1466; And my eyesH5869 will shedH1830 And streamH3381 downH3381 tearsH1832, BecauseH3588 the 23flockH5739 of the LordH3068 has been takenH7617 captiveH7617.18SayH559 to the 24kingH4428 and the queenH1377 motherH1377, “25TakeH3427 aH3427 lowlyH8213 seatH3427, For your beautifulH8597 26crownH5850 Has comeH3381 downH3381 from your headH4763.”19The 27citiesH5892 of the NegevH5045 have been lockedH5462 upH5462, And thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 to openH6605 them; AllH3605 28JudahH3063 has been takenH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540, WhollyH7965 takenH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540.
20“RaiseH5375 your eyesH5869 and seeH7200 Those comingH935 29from the northH6828. WhereH346 is the 30flockH5739 that was givenH5414 you, Your beautifulH8597 sheepH6629?21WhatH4100 will you sayH559 whenH3588 He appointsH6485 overH5921 you-- And you yourselfH855 had taughtH3925 them-- Former 31companionsH441 to be headH7218 overH5921 you? Will 32sharpH2256 painsH2256 not takeH270 holdH270 of you LikeH3644 a womanH802 inH3205 childbirthH3205?22IfH3588 you 33sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘34WhyH4069 have theseH428 thingsH428 happenedH7122 to me?’ Because of the 35magnitudeH7230 of your wrongdoingH5771 36Your skirtsH7757 have been removedH1540 And your 37heelsH6119 have sufferedH2554 violenceH2554.2338Can the EthiopianH3569 changeH2015 his skinH5785, Or the leopardH5246 his spotsH2272? Then you asH1571 wellH1571 canH3201 39doH3190 goodH3190 Who are accustomedH3928 to doingH7489 evilH7489.24Therefore I will 40scatterH6327 them like driftingH5674 strawH7179 To the desertH4057 41windH7307.25ThisH2088 is your 42lotH1486, the portionH4521 measuredH4055 to you From Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “BecauseH834 you have 43forgottenH7911 Me And trustedH982 in falsehoodH8267.
