Jeremiah 13:11 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 Thus says the LORD to me, "Go and buy a linen loincloth and put it around your waist, and do not dip it in water."
2 So I bought a loincloth according to the word of the LORD, and put it around my waist.
3 And the word of the LORD came to me a second time,
4 "Take the loincloth that you have bought, which is around your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates and hide it there in a cleft of the rock."
5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
6 And after many days the LORD said to me, "Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there."
7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the loincloth was spoiled; it was good for nothing.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
9 "Thus says the LORD: Even so will I spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who stubbornly follow their own heart and have gone after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be like this loincloth, which is good for nothing.
11 For as the loincloth clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me, declares the LORD, that they might be for me a people, a name, a praise, and a glory, but they would not listen.
12 "You shall speak to them this word: 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, "Every jar shall be filled with wine."' And they will say to you, 'Do we not indeed know that every jar will be filled with wine?'
13 Then you shall say to them, 'Thus says the LORD: Behold, I will fill with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land: the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
14 And I will dash them one against another, fathers and sons together, declares the LORD. I will not pity or spare or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.'"
15 Hear and give ear; be not proud, for the LORD has spoken.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God before he brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the twilight mountains, and while you look for light he turns it into gloom and makes it deep darkness.
17 But if you will not listen, my soul will weep in secret for your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock has been taken captive.
18 Say to the king and the queen mother: "Take a lowly seat, for your beautiful crown has come down from your head."
19 The cities of the Negeb are shut up, with none to open them; all Judah is taken into exile, wholly taken into exile.
20 "Lift up your eyes and see those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
21 What will you say when they set as head over you those whom you yourself have taught to be friends to you? Will not pangs take hold of you like those of a woman in labor?
22 And if you say in your heart, 'Why have these things come upon me?' it is for the greatness of your iniquity that your skirts are lifted up and you suffer violence.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then also you can do good who are accustomed to do evil.
24 I will scatter you like chaff driven by the wind from the desert.
25 This is your lot, the portion I have measured out to you, declares the LORD, because you have forgotten me and trusted in lies.
26 I myself will lift up your skirts over your face, and your shame will be seen.
27 I have seen your abominations, your adulteries and neighings, your lewd whorings, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will it be before you are made clean?"
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 ?
