24_JER_13_01 thus saith the LORD unto me , go And get thee A linen girdle , And put it upon thy loins , And put it not in water .
24_JER_13_02 So I got A girdle according to the word of the LORD , And put [ it ] on my loins .
24_JER_13_03 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time , saying ,
24_JER_13_04 take the girdle that thou hast got , which [ Is ] upon thy loins , And Arise , go to Euphrates , And hide it there in A hole of the rock .
24_JER_13_05 So I went , And hid it by Euphrates , as the LORD commanded me .
24_JER_13_06 And it came to pass after Many days , that the LORD said unto me , Arise , go to Euphrates , And take the girdle from thence , which I commanded thee to hide there .
24_JER_13_07 Then I went to Euphrates , And digged , And took the girdle from the place where I had hid it : And , behold , the girdle was marred , it was profitable for nothing .
24_JER_13_08 Then the word of the LORD came unto me , saying ,
24_JER_13_09 thus saith the LORD , after this manner will I mar the pride of Judah , And the great pride of Jerusalem .
24_JER_13_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 .
24_JER_13_11 for as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of A man , So have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel And the whole house of Judah , saith the LORD ; that they might be unto me for A people , And for A name , And for A praise , And for A glory : but they would not hear .
24_JER_13_12 therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word ; thus saith the LORD God of Israel , every bottle shall be filled with wine : And they shall say unto thee , do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine ?
24_JER_13_13 Then shalt thou say unto them , thus saith the LORD , behold , I will fill all the inhabitants of this land , even the kings that sit upon David's throne , And the priests , And the prophets , And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem , with drunkenness .
24_JER_13_14 And I will dash them one against another , even the fathers And the sons together , saith the LORD : I will not pity , nor spare , nor have mercy , but destroy them .
24_JER_13_15 hear ye , And give ear ; be not proud : for the LORD hath spoken .
24_JER_13_16 give glory to the LORD your God , before he cause darkness , And before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains , And , while ye Look for light , he turn it into the shadow of death , [ And ] make [ it ] gross darkness .
24_JER_13_17 but if ye will not hear it , my soul shall weep in secret places for [ your ] pride ; And mine eye shall weep sore , And run down with tears , because the LORD's flock Is carried away captive .
24_JER_13_18 say unto the king And to the queen , humble yourselves , sit down : for your principalities shall come down , [ even ] the crown of your glory .
24_JER_13_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 .
24_JER_13_20 lift up your eyes , And behold them that come from the north : where [ Is ] the flock [ that ] was given thee , thy beautiful flock ?
24_JER_13_21 what Wilt thou say when he shall punish thee ? for thou hast taught them [ to be ] captains , [ And ] as chief over thee : shall not sorrows take thee , as A woman in travail ?
24_JER_13_22 And if thou say in thine heart , Wherefore come These things upon me ? for the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered , [ And ] thy heels made bare .
24_JER_13_23 can the Ethiopian change his skin , or the leopard his spots ? [ Then ] may ye also do good , that are accustomed to do evil .
24_JER_13_24 therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness .
24_JER_13_25 this [ Is ] thy lot , the portion of thy measures from me , saith the LORD ; because thou hast forgotten me , And trusted in falsehood .
24_JER_13_26 therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face , that thy shame may appear .
24_JER_13_27 I have seen thine adulteries , And thy neighings , the lewdness of thy whoredom , [ And ] thine abominations on the hills in the fields . woe unto thee , O Jerusalem ! Wilt thou not be made clean ? when [ shall it ] once [ be ] ?
