Jeremiah 13:1-15

1ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto meH413, GoH1980, and buyH7069 thee a linenH6593 girdleH232, and putH7760 it uponH5921 thy loinsH4975, and putH7760 it notH3808 in waterH4325.

2SoH7760 I boughtH7069 a girdleH232 accordingH5921 to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and putH7760 it uponH5921 my loinsH4975.

3And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413 the secondH8145 time, sayingH559,

4TakeH3947 the girdleH232 that thou hast boughtH7069, whichH834 is uponH5921 thy loinsH4975, and ariseH6965, goH6965 to EuphratesH6578, and hideH2934 it there in a hole of the rockH5553.

5SoH834 I went, and hidH2934 it by EuphratesH6578, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 meH6680.

6And it cameH1961 to passH1961 afterH7093 manyH7227 daysH3117, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, AriseH6965, goH6965 to EuphratesH6578, and takeH3947 the girdleH232 from thence, whichH834 I commandedH6680 thee to hideH2934 there.

7Then I went to EuphratesH6578, and digged, and tookH3947 the girdleH232 from the placeH4725 whereH834 I had hidH2934 it: and, beholdH2009, the girdleH232 was marred, it was profitable for nothingH3808.

8Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559,

9ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, After this mannerH3602 will I mar the prideH1347 of JudahH3063, and the greatH7227 prideH1347 of JerusalemH3389.

10This evilH7451 peopleH5971, whichH834 refuseH3808 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, whichH834 walkH1980 in the stubbornnessH8307 of their heartH3820, and are goneH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, shall evenH3808 be as this girdleH232, whichH834 is profitable for nothingH3808.

11For as the girdleH232 cleaveth to the loinsH4975 of a manH376, soH3651 have I causedH1961 to cleave unto meH413 the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of JudahH3063, saith the LORDH3068; that they might be unto meH413 for a peopleH5971, and for a nameH8034, and for a praiseH8416, and for a gloryH8597: but they would notH3808 hearH8085.

12Therefore thou shalt speakH559 unto them this wordH1697: ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, EveryH3605 bottle shall be filledH4390 with wineH3196: and they shall sayH559 unto thee, DoH3605 weH3588 notH3808 knowH3045 that everyH3605 bottle shall be filledH4390 with wineH3196?

13Then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, BeholdH2005, I will fillH4390 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776, evenH853 the kingsH4428 that sitH3427 uponH5921 David’sH1732 throneH3678, and the priestsH3548, and the prophetsH5030, and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, with drunkennessH7943.

14And I will dash them one againstH413 anotherH251, evenH3808 the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162, saith the LORDH3068: I will notH3808 pityH2347, norH3808 spareH2550, norH3808 have compassionH7355, that I should notH3808 destroyH7843 them.

15HearH8085 ye, and giveH238 earH238; be notH408 proudH1361: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696.
