Jeremiah

Chapter 13

1 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 to me, Go1980 and get7069 you a linen6593 girdle,232 and put7760 it on your loins,4975 and put7760 it not in water.4325

2 So I got7069 a girdle232 according to the word1697 of the LORD,3068 and put7760 it on5921 my loins.4975

3 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me the second8145 time, saying,559

4 Take3947 the girdle232 that you have got,7069 which834 is on your loins,4975 and arise,6965 go3212 to Euphrates,6578 and hide2934 it there8033 in a hole5357 of the rock.5553

5 So I went,3212 and hid2934 it by Euphrates,6578 as the LORD3068 commanded6680 me.

6 And it came1961 to pass after7093 many7227 days,3117 that the LORD3068 said559 to me, Arise,6965 go3212 to Euphrates,6578 and take3947 the girdle232 from there,8033 which834 I commanded6680 you to hide2934 there.8033

7 Then I went3212 to Euphrates,6578 and dig,2658 and took3947 the girdle232 from the place4725 where834 8033 I had hid2934 it: and, behold,2009 the girdle232 was marred,7843 it was profitable6743 for nothing.3808 3605

8 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559

9 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 After3602 this manner3541 will I mar7843 the pride1347 of Judah,3063 and the great7227 pride1347 of Jerusalem.3389

10 This2088 evil7451 people,5971 which refuse3987 to hear8085 my words,1697 which walk1980 in the imagination8307 of their heart,3820 and walk1980 after310 other312 gods,430 to serve5647 them, and to worship7812 them, shall even be as this2088 girdle,232 which834 is good6743 for nothing.3808 3605

11 For as the girdle232 sticks1692 to the loins4975 of a man,376 so3651 have I caused to stick1692 to me the whole3605 house1004 of Israel3478 and the whole3605 house1004 of Judah,3063 said5002 the LORD;3068 that they might be to me for a people,5971 and for a name,8034 and for a praise,8416 and for a glory:8597 but they would not hear.8085

12 Therefore you shall speak559 to them this2088 word;1697 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 Every3605 bottle5035 shall be filled4390 with wine:3196 and they shall say559 to you, Do we not certainly know3045 that every3605 bottle5035 shall be filled4390 with wine?3196

13 Then shall you say559 to them, Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2005 I will fill4390 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of this land,776 even the kings4428 that sit3427 on David's1732 throne,3678 and the priests,3548 and the prophets,5030 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 with drunkenness.7943

14 And I will dash5310 them one376 against413 another,251 even the fathers1 and the sons1121 together,3162 said5002 the LORD:3068 I will not pity,2550 nor3808 spare,2347 nor3808 have mercy,7355 but destroy7843 them.

15 Hear8085 you, and give ear;238 be not proud:1341 for the LORD3068 has spoken.1696

16 Give5414 glory3519 to the LORD3068 your God,430 before2962 he cause darkness,2821 and before2962 your feet7272 stumble5062 on the dark5399 mountains,2022 and, while you look6960 for light,216 he turn7760 it into the shadow6757 of death,6757 and make7896 it gross6205 darkness.6205

17 But if518 you will not hear8085 it, my soul5315 shall weep1058 in secret4565 places for your pride;1466 and my eye5869 shall weep1830 sore, and run3381 down with tears,1832 because3588 the LORD's3068 flock5739 is carried7617 away captive.7617

18 Say559 to the king4428 and to the queen,1377 Humble8213 yourselves, sit3427 down: for your principalities4761 shall come3381 down,3381 even the crown5850 of your glory.8597

19 The cities5892 of the south5045 shall be shut5462 up, and none369 shall open6605 them: Judah3063 shall be carried1540 away captive1540 all3605 of it, it shall be wholly7965 carried1540 away captive.1540

20 Lift5375 up your eyes,5869 and behold7200 them that come935 from the north:6828 where346 is the flock5739 that was given5414 you, your beautiful8597 flock?6629

21 What4100 will you say559 when3588 he shall punish6485 you? for you have taught3925 them to be captains,441 and as chief7218 over5921 you: shall not sorrows2256 take270 you, as a woman802 in travail?3205

22 And if3588 you say559 in your heart,3824 Why4069 come7122 these428 things on me? For the greatness7230 of your iniquity5771 are your skirts7757 discovered,1540 and your heels6119 made bore.2554

23 Can the Ethiopian3569 change2015 his skin,5785 or the leopard5246 his spots?2272 then may3201 you also1571 do good,3190 that are accustomed3928 to do evil.7489

24 Therefore will I scatter6327 them as the stubble7179 that passes5674 away by the wind7307 of the wilderness.4057

25 This2088 is your lot,1486 the portion4490 of your measures4055 from me, said5002 the LORD;3068 because834 you have forgotten7911 me, and trusted982 in falsehood.8267

26 Therefore will I discover2834 your skirts7757 on your face,6440 that your shame7036 may appear.7200

27 I have seen7200 your adulteries,5004 and your neighings,4684 the lewdness2154 of your prostitution,2184 and your abominations8251 on5921 the hills1389 in the fields.7704 Woe188 to you, O Jerusalem!3389 will you not be made clean?2891 when shall it once5750 be?

Jeremiah

Chapter 13

1 THUS says the LORD unto me, Go and buy for yourself a linen girdle, and put it on your loins, and do not put it in water.

2 So I bought a girdle according to the word of the LORD and put it on my loins.

3 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,

4 Take the girdle which you have bought, and which is upon your loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates and bury it there in a hole of the rock.

5 So I went and buried it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

6 And it came to pass after many days that the LORD said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates and take from thence the girdle which I commanded you to bury there.

7 Then I went to the Euphrates and dug and took the girdle from the place where I had buried it; and, behold, the girdle was rotted and was good for nothing.

8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

9 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: In this manner will I destroy the proud men of Judah and the proud men of Jerusalem that are many.

10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the imagination of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them and to worship them, shall be even as this girdle which is good for nothing.

11 For as the girdle cleaves to the loins of a man, so I have caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says 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 hearken.

12 Therefore you shall speak to them this word: Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Every wineskin shall be filled with wine; and they shall say to you, Do we not know that every wineskin shall be filled with wine?

13 Then you shall say to them, Thus says 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.

14 And I will scatter them and separate them every man from his brother, even fathers and their children together, says the LORD; I will not pity, nor have mercy, nor spare, but destroy them.

15 Hear and give ear; be not proud, for the LORD has spoken.

16 Give glory to the LORD your God before it becomes dark, and before your feet are injured upon the mountains in the darkness, and, while you look for light, he turns it into darkness and the shadows of death.

17 But if you will not hearken to him, then my soul shall weep in secret because of distress; and I will weep bitterly, and tears shall run down from my eyes because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.

18 Say to the king and to the princes, Humble yourselves and repent, for the crown of your glory has fallen from your heads.

19 The cities of the south are shut up, and there is no one to open them; Judah is carried away captive, yea, is wholly carried away captive.

20 Lift up your eyes and see those that come from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your beautiful flock?

21 What will you say when he shall punish you? For you have taught the people a doctrine which has caused them to be trodden under foot; behold, you shall be seized with pain as a woman in travail.

22 And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come upon me? For the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered and your heels made bare.

23 Just as a Hindu cannot change his skin or a leopard his spots, you also cannot do good because you are accustomed to do evil.

24 Therefore I will scatter them like the stubble driven by the wind in the wilderness.

25 This is your lot, the portion of your inheritance from me, says the LORD; because you have forgotten me and trusted in falsehood.

26 Therefore I also will cause your skirts to be uncovered and lifted over your face, and your shame shall be seen.

27 I have seen your adulteries and your lusts, the lewdness of your whoredom and your abominations on the hills in the wilderness. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! for you are unwilling to be cleansed. How long will it be till you repent?

Chapter 13

1 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 to me, Go1980 and get7069 you a linen6593 girdle,232 and put7760 it on your loins,4975 and put7760 it not in water.4325

1 THUS says the LORD unto me, Go and buy for yourself a linen girdle, and put it on your loins, and do not put it in water.

2 So I got7069 a girdle232 according to the word1697 of the LORD,3068 and put7760 it on5921 my loins.4975

2 So I bought a girdle according to the word of the LORD and put it on my loins.

3 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me the second8145 time, saying,559

3 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,

4 Take3947 the girdle232 that you have got,7069 which834 is on your loins,4975 and arise,6965 go3212 to Euphrates,6578 and hide2934 it there8033 in a hole5357 of the rock.5553

4 Take the girdle which you have bought, and which is upon your loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates and bury it there in a hole of the rock.

5 So I went,3212 and hid2934 it by Euphrates,6578 as the LORD3068 commanded6680 me.

5 So I went and buried it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

6 And it came1961 to pass after7093 many7227 days,3117 that the LORD3068 said559 to me, Arise,6965 go3212 to Euphrates,6578 and take3947 the girdle232 from there,8033 which834 I commanded6680 you to hide2934 there.8033

6 And it came to pass after many days that the LORD said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates and take from thence the girdle which I commanded you to bury there.

7 Then I went3212 to Euphrates,6578 and dig,2658 and took3947 the girdle232 from the place4725 where834 8033 I had hid2934 it: and, behold,2009 the girdle232 was marred,7843 it was profitable6743 for nothing.3808 3605

7 Then I went to the Euphrates and dug and took the girdle from the place where I had buried it; and, behold, the girdle was rotted and was good for nothing.

8 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559

8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

9 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 After3602 this manner3541 will I mar7843 the pride1347 of Judah,3063 and the great7227 pride1347 of Jerusalem.3389

9 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: In this manner will I destroy the proud men of Judah and the proud men of Jerusalem that are many.

10 This2088 evil7451 people,5971 which refuse3987 to hear8085 my words,1697 which walk1980 in the imagination8307 of their heart,3820 and walk1980 after310 other312 gods,430 to serve5647 them, and to worship7812 them, shall even be as this2088 girdle,232 which834 is good6743 for nothing.3808 3605

10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the imagination of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them and to worship them, shall be even as this girdle which is good for nothing.

11 For as the girdle232 sticks1692 to the loins4975 of a man,376 so3651 have I caused to stick1692 to me the whole3605 house1004 of Israel3478 and the whole3605 house1004 of Judah,3063 said5002 the LORD;3068 that they might be to me for a people,5971 and for a name,8034 and for a praise,8416 and for a glory:8597 but they would not hear.8085

11 For as the girdle cleaves to the loins of a man, so I have caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says 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 hearken.

12 Therefore you shall speak559 to them this2088 word;1697 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 Every3605 bottle5035 shall be filled4390 with wine:3196 and they shall say559 to you, Do we not certainly know3045 that every3605 bottle5035 shall be filled4390 with wine?3196

12 Therefore you shall speak to them this word: Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Every wineskin shall be filled with wine; and they shall say to you, Do we not know that every wineskin shall be filled with wine?

13 Then shall you say559 to them, Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2005 I will fill4390 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of this land,776 even the kings4428 that sit3427 on David's1732 throne,3678 and the priests,3548 and the prophets,5030 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 with drunkenness.7943

13 Then you shall say to them, Thus says 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.

14 And I will dash5310 them one376 against413 another,251 even the fathers1 and the sons1121 together,3162 said5002 the LORD:3068 I will not pity,2550 nor3808 spare,2347 nor3808 have mercy,7355 but destroy7843 them.

14 And I will scatter them and separate them every man from his brother, even fathers and their children together, says the LORD; I will not pity, nor have mercy, nor spare, but destroy them.

15 Hear8085 you, and give ear;238 be not proud:1341 for the LORD3068 has spoken.1696

15 Hear and give ear; be not proud, for the LORD has spoken.

16 Give5414 glory3519 to the LORD3068 your God,430 before2962 he cause darkness,2821 and before2962 your feet7272 stumble5062 on the dark5399 mountains,2022 and, while you look6960 for light,216 he turn7760 it into the shadow6757 of death,6757 and make7896 it gross6205 darkness.6205

16 Give glory to the LORD your God before it becomes dark, and before your feet are injured upon the mountains in the darkness, and, while you look for light, he turns it into darkness and the shadows of death.

17 But if518 you will not hear8085 it, my soul5315 shall weep1058 in secret4565 places for your pride;1466 and my eye5869 shall weep1830 sore, and run3381 down with tears,1832 because3588 the LORD's3068 flock5739 is carried7617 away captive.7617

17 But if you will not hearken to him, then my soul shall weep in secret because of distress; and I will weep bitterly, and tears shall run down from my eyes because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.

18 Say559 to the king4428 and to the queen,1377 Humble8213 yourselves, sit3427 down: for your principalities4761 shall come3381 down,3381 even the crown5850 of your glory.8597

18 Say to the king and to the princes, Humble yourselves and repent, for the crown of your glory has fallen from your heads.

19 The cities5892 of the south5045 shall be shut5462 up, and none369 shall open6605 them: Judah3063 shall be carried1540 away captive1540 all3605 of it, it shall be wholly7965 carried1540 away captive.1540

19 The cities of the south are shut up, and there is no one to open them; Judah is carried away captive, yea, is wholly carried away captive.

20 Lift5375 up your eyes,5869 and behold7200 them that come935 from the north:6828 where346 is the flock5739 that was given5414 you, your beautiful8597 flock?6629

20 Lift up your eyes and see those that come from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your beautiful flock?

21 What4100 will you say559 when3588 he shall punish6485 you? for you have taught3925 them to be captains,441 and as chief7218 over5921 you: shall not sorrows2256 take270 you, as a woman802 in travail?3205

21 What will you say when he shall punish you? For you have taught the people a doctrine which has caused them to be trodden under foot; behold, you shall be seized with pain as a woman in travail.

22 And if3588 you say559 in your heart,3824 Why4069 come7122 these428 things on me? For the greatness7230 of your iniquity5771 are your skirts7757 discovered,1540 and your heels6119 made bore.2554

22 And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come upon me? For the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered and your heels made bare.

23 Can the Ethiopian3569 change2015 his skin,5785 or the leopard5246 his spots?2272 then may3201 you also1571 do good,3190 that are accustomed3928 to do evil.7489

23 Just as a Hindu cannot change his skin or a leopard his spots, you also cannot do good because you are accustomed to do evil.

24 Therefore will I scatter6327 them as the stubble7179 that passes5674 away by the wind7307 of the wilderness.4057

24 Therefore I will scatter them like the stubble driven by the wind in the wilderness.

25 This2088 is your lot,1486 the portion4490 of your measures4055 from me, said5002 the LORD;3068 because834 you have forgotten7911 me, and trusted982 in falsehood.8267

25 This is your lot, the portion of your inheritance from me, says the LORD; because you have forgotten me and trusted in falsehood.

26 Therefore will I discover2834 your skirts7757 on your face,6440 that your shame7036 may appear.7200

26 Therefore I also will cause your skirts to be uncovered and lifted over your face, and your shame shall be seen.

27 I have seen7200 your adulteries,5004 and your neighings,4684 the lewdness2154 of your prostitution,2184 and your abominations8251 on5921 the hills1389 in the fields.7704 Woe188 to you, O Jerusalem!3389 will you not be made clean?2891 when shall it once5750 be?

27 I have seen your adulteries and your lusts, the lewdness of your whoredom and your abominations on the hills in the wilderness. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! for you are unwilling to be cleansed. How long will it be till you repent?
