Jeremiah’s Linen Belt

13This is what the Lord said to me: "Go and buy a linen belt for yourself, and put it around your waist. But don't let it get wet."H559H3068H1980H7069H6593H232H7760H4975H935H4325
2So I bought the belt according to the Lord's instruction, and put it around my waist.H7069H232H1697H3068H7760H4975
3Then the word of the Lord came to me a second time:H1697H3068H8145H559
4Take the belt that you bought and that is around your waist. Get up and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a crevice in the rock."H3947H232H7069H4975H6965H3212H6578H2934H5357H5553
5So I went and hid it at the Euphrates, just as the Lord had commanded me.H3212H2934H6578H3068H6680
6After a long time, the Lord said to me, "Arise, go to the Euphrates, and get the belt that I commanded you to hide there."H7093H7227H3117H3068H559H6965H3212H6578H3947H232H6680H2934
7I went to the Euphrates and dug it up. I got the belt from the place where I had hidden it. The belt was ruined! It was not good for anything.H3212H6578H2658H3947H232H4725H2934H232H7843H6743
8Then the word of the Lord came to me:H1697H3068H559
9"This is what the Lord says: 'In the same way I'll ruin the pride of Judah and the pride of Jerusalem.H559H3068H7843H1347H3063H7227H1347H3389
10This evil people that refuses to listen to my words, that stubbornly pursues their own desires, and that follows other gods to serve and worship them, will be like this belt that is not good for anything.H7451H5971H3987H8085H1697H1980H8307H3820H3212H310H312H430H5647H7812H232H6743
11For just as the belt clings tightly to a person's waist, so I've made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah cling tightly to me,' declares the Lord. 'I did this so that they would be my people, name, praise, and glory. But they wouldn't listen.'H232H1692H4975H376H1692H1004H3478H1004H3063H5002H3068H5971H8034H8416H8597H8085

The Wineskins

12"This is what you're to tell them: 'This is what the Lord God of Israel says: "Every wineskin is to be filled with wine."' When they say to you, 'Don't we know very well that every wineskin is to be filled with wine?,H559H1697H559H3068H430H3478H5035H4390H3196H559H3045H3045H5035H4390H3196
13then say to them, 'This is what the Lord says: "I'm about to make all the inhabitants of this land drunk - the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the residents of Jerusalem.H559H559H3068H4390H3427H776H4428H3427H1732H3678H3548H5030H3427H3389H7943
14I'll smash them against each other, even fathers against their sons," declares the Lord. "I'll have no pity, mercy, or compassion when I destroy them."'"H5310H376H251H1H1121H3162H5002H3068H2550H2347H7355H7843
15Listen and pay attention! Don't be proud, for the Lord has spoken.H8085H238H1361H3068H1696
16Give glory to the Lord your God before he brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the mountains at twilight. You hope for light, but he turns it into deep darkness. He changes it into heavy gloom.H5414H3519H3068H430H2821H7272H5062H5399H2022H6960H216H7760H6757H7896H7896H6205
17If you don't listen, I'll cry secretly because of your pride. My eyes will cry bitterly, flowing tears, because the Lord's flock has been taken captive.H8085H5315H1058H4565H6440H1466H5869H1830H1830H3381H1832H3068H5739H7617
18Say to the king and the queen mother, "Come take a lowly seat, because your beautiful crowns have fallen off your heads."H559H4428H1377H8213H3427H4761H3381H5850H8597
19The towns in the Negev will be closed up, and there will be no one to open them. All Judah will be taken into exile and be completely exiled.H5892H5045H5462H6605H3063H1540H7965H1540
20"Look up and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you?your beautiful sheep -H5375H5869H7200H935H6828H5739H5414H8597H6629
21What will you say when the Lord appoints over you as your head those whom you taught to be your allies?Pain will seize you like that seizing a woman about to give birth, will it not -H559H6485H3925H441H7218H2256H270H802H3205
22When you say to yourselves, 'Why have all these things happened to me? It's because of the extent of your iniquity that your skirt has been lifted up, and your heels have suffered violence.H559H3824H7122H7230H5771H7757H1540H6119H2554
23Can an Ethiopian change his skin, or a leopard his spots?Then you who are trained to do evil will also be able to do good.H3569H2015H5785H5246H2272H3201H3190H3928H7489
24I'll scatter them like chaff blown away by a desert wind.H6327H7179H5674H7307H4057
25"This is your fate, the portion I've measured out for you," declares the Lord, "because you have forgotten me and have trusted in false gods.H1486H4490H4055H5002H3068H7911H982H8267
26I'll also pull your skirt up over your face, so your shame will be seen,H2834H7757H6440H7036H7200
27I've seen your detestable behavior: your adulteries, your passionate neighing, your lewd immorality on the hills in the field. How terrible it will be for you, Jerusalem! You are unclean. How much longer will this go on?H7200H5004H4684H2154H2184H8251H1389H7704H188H3389H2891H5750H310
