Jeremiah 13

1 ♥ 📝 T hus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 unto me, Go,^H1980 and buy^H7069 thee a linen^H6593 girdle,^H232 and put^H7760 it upon thy loins,^H4975 and put^H935 it not in water.^H4325

2 ♥ 📝 So I bought^H7069 a girdle^H232 according to the word^H1697 of Jehovah,^H3068 and put^H7760 it upon my loins.^H4975

3 ♥ 📝 And the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 came unto me the second time,^H8145 saying,^H559

4 ♥ 📝 Take^H3947 the girdle^H232 that thou hast bought,^H7069 which is upon thy loins,^H4975 and arise,^H6965 go^H3212 to the Euphrates,^H6578 and hide^H2934 it there in a cleft^H5357 of the rock.^H5553

5 ♥ 📝 So I went,^H3212 and hid^H2934 it by the Euphrates,^H6578 as Jehovah^H3068 commanded^H6680 me.

6 ♥ 📝 And it came to pass after^H7093 many^H7227 days,^H3117 that Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Arise,^H6965 go^H3212 to the Euphrates,^H6578 and take^H3947 the girdle^H232 from thence, which I commanded^H6680 thee to hide^H2934 there.

7 ♥ 📝 Then I went^H3212 to the Euphrates,^H6578 and digged,^H2658 and took^H3947 the girdle^H232 from the place^H4725 where I had hid^H2934 it; and, behold, the girdle^H232 was marred,^H7843 it was profitable^H6743 for nothing.

8 ♥ 📝 Then the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 came unto me, saying,^H559

9 ♥ 📝 Thus saith^H559 Jehovah,^H3068 After this manner will I mar^H7843 the pride^H1347 of Judah,^H3063 and the great^H7227 pride^H1347 of Jerusalem.^H3389

10 ♥ 📝 This evil^H7451 people,^H5971 that refuse^H3987 to hear^H8085 my words,^H1697 that walk^H1980 in the stubbornness^H8307 of their heart,^H3820 and are gone^H3212 after^H310 other^H312 gods^H430 to serve^H5647 them, and to worship^H7812 them, shall even be as this girdle,^H232 which is profitable^H6743 for nothing.

11 ♥ 📝 For as the girdle^H232 cleaveth^H1692 to the loins^H4975 of a man,^H376 so have I caused to cleave^H1692 unto me the whole house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 and the whole house^H1004 of Judah,^H3063 saith^H5002 Jehovah;^H3068 that they may be unto me for a people,^H5971 and for a name,^H8034 and for a praise,^H8416 and for a glory:^H8597 but they would not hear.^H8085

12 ♥ 📝 Therefore thou shalt speak^H559 unto them this word:^H1697 Thus saith^H559 Jehovah,^H3068 the God^H430 of Israel,^H3478 Every bottle^H5035 shall be filled^H4390 with wine:^H3196 and they shall say^H559 unto thee, Do we not certainly^H3045 know^H3045 that every bottle^H5035 shall be filled^H4390 with wine?^H3196

13 ♥ 📝 Then shalt thou say^H559 unto them, Thus saith^H559 Jehovah,^H3068 Behold, I will fill^H4390 all the inhabitants^H3427 of this land,^H776 even the kings^H4428 that sit^H3427 upon David's^H1732 throne,^H3678 and the priests,^H3548 and the prophets,^H5030 and all the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem,^H3389 with drunkenness.^H7943

14 ♥ 📝 And I will dash^H5310 them one^H376 against another,^H251 even the fathers^H1 and the sons^H1121 together,^H3162 saith^H5002 Jehovah:^H3068 I will not pity,^H2550 nor spare,^H2347 nor have compassion,^H7355 that I should not destroy^H7843 them.

15 ♥ 📝 Hear^H8085 ye, and give ear;^H238 be not proud;^H1361 for Jehovah^H3068 hath spoken.^H1696

16 ♥ 📝 Give^H5414 glory^H3519 to Jehovah^H3068 your God,^H430 before he cause darkness,^H2821 and before your feet^H7272 stumble^H5062 upon the dark^H5399 mountains,^H2022 and, while ye look^H6960 for light,^H216 he turn^H7760 it into the shadow of death,^H6757 and make^H7896 it gross darkness.^H6205

17 ♥ 📝 But if ye will not hear^H8085 it, my soul^H5315 shall weep^H1058 in secret^H4565 for^H6440 your pride;^H1466 and mine eye^H5869 shall weep^H1830 sore,^H1830 and run down^H3381 with tears,^H1832 because Jehovah's^H3068 flock^H5739 is taken captive.^H7617

18 ♥ 📝 Say^H559 thou unto the king^H4428 and to the queen-mother,^H1377 Humble^H8213 yourselves, sit down;^H3427 for your headtires^H4761 are come down,^H3381 even the crown^H5850 of your glory.^H8597

19 ♥ 📝 The cities^H5892 of the South^H5045 are shut up,^H5462 and there is none to open^H6605 them: Judah^H3063 is carried away captive,^H1540 all of it; it is wholly^H7965 carried away captive.^H1540

20 ♥ 📝 Lift up^H5375 your eyes,^H5869 and behold^H7200 them that come^H935 from the north:^H6828 where is the flock^H5739 that was given^H5414 thee, thy beautiful^H8597 flock?^H6629

21 ♥ 📝 What wilt thou say,^H559 when he shall set^H6485 over thee as head^H7218 those whom thou hast thyself taught^H3925 to be friends^H441 to thee? shall not sorrows^H2256 take^H270 hold of thee, as of a woman^H802 in travail?^H3205

22 ♥ 📝 And if thou say^H559 in thy heart,^H3824 Wherefore are these things come^H7122 upon me? for the greatness^H7230 of thine iniquity^H5771 are thy skirts^H7757 uncovered,^H1540 and thy heels^H6119 suffer violence.^H2554

23 ♥ 📝 Can the Ethiopian^H3569 change^H2015 his skin,^H5785 or the leopard^H5246 his spots?^H2272 then may^H3201 ye also do good,^H3190 that are accustomed^H3928 to do evil.^H7489

24 ♥ 📝 Therefore will I scatter^H6327 them, as the stubble^H7179 that passeth away,^H5674 by the wind^H7307 of the wilderness.^H4057

25 ♥ 📝 This is thy lot,^H1486 the portion^H4490 measured^H4055 unto thee from me, saith^H5002 Jehovah;^H3068 because thou hast forgotten^H7911 me, and trusted^H982 in falsehood.^H8267

26 ♥ 📝 Therefore will I also uncover^H2834 thy skirts^H7757 upon thy face,^H6440 and thy shame^H7036 shall appear.^H7200

27 ♥ 📝 I have seen^H7200 thine abominations,^H8251 even thine adulteries,^H5004 and thy neighings,^H4684 the lewdness^H2154 of thy whoredom,^H2184 on the hills^H1389 in the field.^H7704 Woe^H188 unto thee, O Jerusalem!^H3389 thou wilt not be made clean;^H2891 how long shall it yet^H5750 be?
