Jeremiah 13

1 Thus said the LORD to me, Go and get you a linen girdle, and put it on your loins, and put it not in water.
Compare verse
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.
Compare verse
3 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,
Compare verse
4 Take the girdle that you have got, which is on your loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
Compare verse
5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
Compare verse
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said to me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from there, which I commanded you to hide there.
Compare verse
7 Then I went to Euphrates, and dig, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
Compare verse
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Compare verse
9 Thus said the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Compare verse
10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
Compare verse
11 For as the girdle sticks to the loins of a man, so have I caused to stick to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, said the LORD; that they might be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
Compare verse
12 Therefore you shall speak to them this word; Thus said the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say to you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
Compare verse
13 Then shall you say to them, Thus said the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit on David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Compare verse
14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, said the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
Compare verse
15 Hear you, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD has spoken.
Compare verse
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
Compare verse
17 But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.
Compare verse
18 Say to the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
Compare verse
19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
Compare verse
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
Compare verse
21 What will you say when he shall punish you? for you have taught them to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail?
Compare verse
22 And if you say in your heart, Why come these things on me? For the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts discovered, and your heels made bore.
Compare verse
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
Compare verse
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
Compare verse
25 This is your lot, the portion of your measures from me, said the LORD; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Compare verse
26 Therefore will I discover your skirts on your face, that your shame may appear.
Compare verse
27 I have seen your adulteries, and your neighings, the lewdness of your prostitution, and your abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! will you not be made clean? when shall it once be?
