Jeremiah 13:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 This is what the Lord said to me: "Jeremiah, go and buy a linen loincloth. Then put it around your waist. Don't let the loincloth get wet."
2 So I bought a linen loincloth, just as the Lord told me to do, and I put it around my waist.
3 Then the message of the Lord came to me a second time.
4 This was the message: "Jeremiah, take the loincloth you bought and are wearing, and go to Perath. Hide the loincloth there in a crack in the rocks."
5 So I went to Perath and hid the loincloth there, just as the Lord told me to do.
6 Many days later the Lord said to me, "Now, Jeremiah, go to Perath. Get the loincloth that I told you to hide there."
7 So I went to Perath and dug up the loincloth. I took it out of the crack in the rocks where I had hidden it. But now I could not wear the loincloth, because it was ruined. It was not good for anything.
8 Then the message of the Lord came to me.
9 This is what the Lord said: "The loincloth is ruined and not good for anything. In the same way I will ruin the proud people of Judah and Jerusalem.
10 I will ruin them because they refuse to listen to my messages. They are stubborn and do only what they want to do. They follow and worship other gods. They will be like this linen loincloth. They will be ruined and not good for anything.
11 A loincloth is wrapped tightly around a man's waist. In the same way I wrapped the family of Israel and the family of Judah around me." This message is from the Lord. "I did that so they would be my people and bring me fame, praise, and honor. But my people did not listen to me."
12 "Jeremiah, say to the people of Judah: 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Every wineskin should be filled with wine.' They will laugh and say to you, 'Of course, we know that every wineskin should be filled with wine.'
13 Then you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord says: I will make everyone who lives in this land helpless, like a drunken person. I am talking about the kings who sit on David's throne. I am also talking about the priests, the prophets, and all the people who live in Jerusalem.
14 I will make them stumble and fall against each other, even the fathers and sons.' This message is from the Lord. 'I will not feel sorry or have pity for them. I will not allow compassion to stop me from destroying the people of Judah.'"
15 Listen and pay attention. The Lord has spoken to you. Do not be proud.
16 Honor the Lord your God. Praise him or he will bring darkness. Praise him before you fall on the dark hills. You people of Judah are hoping for light, but the Lord will turn the light into thick darkness. He will change the light into a very thick darkness.
17 If you people of Judah don't listen to him, I will hide and cry. Your pride will cause me to cry. I will cry very hard. My eyes will overflow with tears, because the Lord's flock will be captured.
18 Tell these things to the king and his wife, "Come down from your thrones. Your beautiful crowns have fallen from your heads."
19 The cities in the Negev are locked. No one can open them. All the people of Judah have been taken away as captives. They were carried away as prisoners.
20 Jerusalem, look! The enemy is coming from the north! Where is your flock? God gave that beautiful flock to you.
21 What will you say when the Lord asks you to account for that flock? You were supposed to teach the people. Your leaders were supposed to lead them. So you will suffer pain and trouble, like a woman giving birth.
22 You might ask yourself, "Why has this bad thing happened to me?" It happened because of your many sins. Because of your sins, your skirt was torn off, and your sandals were taken away. They did this to embarrass you.
23 A black man cannot change the color of his skin, and a leopard cannot change his spots. In the same way, Jerusalem, you cannot change and do good. You always do bad things.
24 "I will force you to leave your homes. You will run in all directions. You will be like chaff blown away by the desert wind.
25 This is what will happen to you. This is your part in my plans." This message is from the Lord. "Why will this happen? Because you forgot me. You trusted false gods.
26 Jerusalem, I will pull your skirt up over your face. Everyone will see you, and you will be ashamed.
27 I saw the terrible things you did. I saw you laughing and having sex with your lovers. I know about your plans to be like a prostitute. I have seen you on the hills and in the fields. It will be very bad for you, Jerusalem. How long you will continue doing your dirty sins?"
1 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 unto H413 me, Go H1980 and get H7069 thee a linen H6593 girdle, H232 and put H7760 it upon H5921 thy loins, H4975 and put H935 it not H3808 in water. H4325
2 So I got H7069 H853 a girdle H232 according to the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 and put H7760 it on H5921 my loins. H4975
3 And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me the second time, H8145 saying, H559
4 Take H3947 H853 the girdle H232 that H834 thou hast got, H7069 which H834 is upon H5921 thy loins, H4975 and arise, H6965 go H1980 to Euphrates, H6578 and hide H2934 it there H8033 in a hole H5357 of the rock. H5553
5 So I went, H1980 and hid H2934 it by Euphrates, H6578 as H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 me.
6 And it came to pass H1961 after H4480 H7093 many H7227 days, H3117 that the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Arise, H6965 go H1980 to Euphrates, H6578 and take H3947 H853 the girdle H232 from thence H4480 H8033 , which H834 I commanded H6680 thee to hide H2934 there. H8033
7 Then I went H1980 to Euphrates, H6578 and digged, H2658 and took H3947 H853 the girdle H232 from H4480 the place H4725 where H834 H8033 I had hid H2934 it: and, behold, H2009 the girdle H232 was marred, H7843 it was profitable H6743 for nothing H3808 H3605 .
8 Then the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
9 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 After this manner H3602 will I mar H7843 the pride H1347 of Judah, H3063 and the great H7227 pride H1347 of Jerusalem. H3389
10 This H2088 evil H7451 people, H5971 which refuse H3987 to hear H8085 H853 my words, H1697 which walk H1980 in the imagination H8307 of their heart, H3820 and walk H1980 after H310 other H312 gods, H430 to serve H5647 them , and to worship H7812 them , shall even be H1961 as this H2088 girdle, H232 which H834 is good H6743 for nothing H3808 H3605 .
11 For H3588 as H834 the girdle H232 cleaveth H1692 to H413 the loins H4975 of a man, H376 so H3651 have I caused to cleave H1692 unto H413 me H853 the whole H3605 house H1004 of Israel H3478 and the whole H3605 house H1004 of Judah, H3063 saith H5002 the LORD; H3068 that they might be H1961 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 H3808 hear. H8085
12 Therefore thou shalt speak H559 unto H413 them H853 this H2088 word; H1697 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 Every H3605 bottle H5035 shall be filled H4390 with wine: H3196 and they shall say H559 unto H413 thee , Do we not H3808 certainly know H3045 H3045 that H3588 every H3605 bottle H5035 shall be filled H4390 with wine H3196 ?
13 Then shalt thou say H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Behold, H2009 I will fill H4390 H853 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of this H2063 land, H776 even the kings H4428 that sit H3427 upon H5921 David's H1732 throne, H3678 and the priests, H3548 and the prophets, H5030 and all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 with drunkenness. H7943
14 And I will dash H5310 them one H376 against H413 another, H251 even the fathers H1 and the sons H1121 together, H3162 saith H5002 the LORD: H3068 I will not H3808 pity, H2550 nor H3808 spare, H2347 nor H3808 have mercy, H7355 but destroy H4480 H7843 them.
15 Hear H8085 ye , and give ear; H238 be not H408 proud: H1361 for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath spoken. H1696
16 Give H5414 glory H3519 to the LORD H3068 your God, H430 before H2962 he cause darkness, H2821 and before H2962 your feet H7272 stumble H5062 upon H5921 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 H518 ye will not H3808 hear H8085 it , my soul H5315 shall weep H1058 in secret places H4565 for H4480 H6440 your pride; H1466 and mine eye H5869 shall weep sore H1830 H1830 , and run down H3381 with tears, H1832 because H3588 the LORD's H3068 flock H5739 is carried away captive. H7617
18 Say H559 unto the king H4428 and to the queen, H1377 Humble yourselves, H8213 sit down: H3427 for H3588 your principalities H4761 shall come down, H3381 even the crown H5850 of your glory. H8597
19 The cities H5892 of the south H5045 shall be shut up, H5462 and none H369 shall open H6605 them : Judah H3063 shall be carried away captive H1540 all H3605 of it , it shall be wholly H7965 carried away captive. H1540
20 Lift up H5375 your eyes, H5869 and behold H7200 them that come H935 from the north H4480 H6828 : where H346 is the flock H5739 that was given H5414 thee , thy beautiful H8597 flock H6629 ?
21 What H4100 wilt thou say H559 when H3588 he shall punish H6485 H5921 thee? for thou H859 hast taught H3925 them to be captains, H441 and as chief H7218 over H5921 thee : shall not H3808 sorrows H2256 take H270 thee, as H3644 a woman H802 in travail H3205 ?
22 And if H3588 thou say H559 in thine heart, H3824 Wherefore H4069 come H7122 these things H428 upon me? For the greatness H7230 of thine iniquity H5771 are thy skirts H7757 discovered, H1540 and thy heels H6119 made bare. H2554
23 Can the Ethiopian H3569 change H2015 his skin, H5785 or the leopard H5246 his spots H2272 ? then may H3201 ye H859 also H1571 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 H2088 is thy lot, H1486 the portion H4490 of thy measures H4055 from H4480 H854 me, saith H5002 the LORD; H3068 because H834 thou hast forgotten H7911 me , and trusted H982 in falsehood. H8267
26 Therefore H1571 will I H589 discover H2834 thy skirts H7757 upon H5921 thy face, H6440 that thy shame H7036 may appear. H7200
27 I have seen H7200 thine adulteries, H5004 and thy neighings, H4684 the lewdness H2154 of thy whoredom, H2184 and thine abominations H8251 on H5921 the hills H1389 in the fields. H7704 Woe H188 unto thee , O Jerusalem H3389 ! wilt thou not H3808 be made clean H2891 ? when H310 shall it once H5750 be ?
