Jeremiah 13:1-15

1Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to me, GoH1980 and purchaseH7069 a linenH6593 waistbandH232, and putH7760 it upon thy loinsH4975, and putH935 it not in waterH4325. 2So I boughtH7069 a waistbandH232 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and putH7760 it on my loinsH4975. 3And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me the second timeH8145, sayingH559, 4TakeH3947 the waistbandH232 that thou hast boughtH7069, which is upon thy loinsH4975, and ariseH6965, goH3212 to EuphratesH6578, and hideH2934 it there in a cleftH5357 of the rockH5553. 5So I wentH3212, and hidH2934 it by EuphratesH6578, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 me. 6And it came to pass afterH7093 manyH7227 daysH3117, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, AriseH6965, goH3212 to EuphratesH6578, and takeH3947 the waistbandH232 from there, which I commandedH6680 thee to hideH2934 there. 7Then I wentH3212 to EuphratesH6578, and dugH2658, and tookH3947 the waistbandH232 from the placeH4725 where I had hidH2934 it: and, behold, the waistbandH232 was marredH7843, it was profitableH6743 for nothing. 8Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559, 9Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, After this manner will I marH7843 the prideH1347 of JudahH3063, and the greatH7227 prideH1347 of JerusalemH3389. 10This evilH7451 peopleH5971, who refuseH3987 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, who walkH1980 in the imaginationH8307 of their heartH3820, and walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, shall even be as this waistbandH232, which is goodH6743 for nothing.1 11For as the waistbandH232 cleavethH1692 to the loinsH4975 of a manH376, so have I caused to cleaveH1692 to me the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the whole houseH1004 of JudahH3063, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; that they might be to 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 to them this wordH1697; Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Every bottleH5035 shall be filledH4390 with wineH3196: and they shall sayH559 to thee, Do we not certainlyH3045 knowH3045 that every bottleH5035 shall be filledH4390 with wineH3196? 13Then shalt thou sayH559 to them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, 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 the LORDH3068: I will not pityH2550, nor spareH2347, nor have mercyH7355, but destroyH7843 them.23 15HearH8085 ye, and give earH238; be not proudH1361: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696.
