Jeremiah 13:9-17

9Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, After this manner will I marH7843 the prideH1347 of JudahH3063, and the greatH7227 prideH1347 of JerusalemH3389. 10This evilH7451 peopleH5971, which refuseH3987 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, which walkH1980 in the imaginationH8307 of their heartH3820, and walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, shall even be as this girdleH232, which is goodH6743 for nothing.1 11For as the girdleH232 cleavethH1692 to the loinsH4975 of a manH376, so have I caused to cleaveH1692 unto me the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the whole houseH1004 of JudahH3063, saithH5002 YhwhH3068; that they might be unto me for a peopleH5971, and for a nameH8034, and for a praiseH8416, and for a gloryH8597: but they would not hearH8085.

12Therefore thou shalt speakH559 unto them this wordH1697; Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Every bottleH5035 shall be filledH4390 with wineH3196: and they shall sayH559 unto thee, Do we not certainlyH3045 knowH3045 that every bottleH5035 shall be filledH4390 with wineH3196? 13Then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Behold, I will fillH4390 all the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776, even the kingsH4428 that sitH3427 upon David’sH1732 throneH3678, and the priestsH3548, and the prophetsH5030, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, with drunkennessH7943. 14And I will dashH5310 them oneH376 against anotherH251, even the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162, saithH5002 YhwhH3068: I will not pityH2550, nor spareH2347, nor have mercyH7355, but destroyH7843 them.23

15HearH8085 ye, and give earH238; be not proudH1361: for YhwhH3068 hath spokenH1696. 16GiveH5414 gloryH3519 to YhwhH3068 your GodH430, before he cause darknessH2821, and before your feetH7272 stumbleH5062 upon the darkH5399 mountainsH2022, and, while ye lookH6960 for lightH216, he turnH7760 it into the shadow of deathH6757, and makeH7896 it gross darknessH6205. 17But if ye will not hearH8085 it, my soulH5315 shall weepH1058 in secret placesH4565 forH6440 your prideH1466; and mine eyeH5869 shall weepH1830 soreH1830, and run downH3381 with tearsH1832, because Yhwh'sH3068 flockH5739 is carried away captiveH7617.
