Jeremías — Capítulo 13

KJVThus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.

KJVSo I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put {it} on my loins.

KJVAnd the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,

KJVTake the girdle that thou hast got, which {is} upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

KJVSo I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

KJVAnd it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.

KJVThen I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

KJVThen the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

KJVThus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

KJVThis evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. {imagination: or, stubbornness}

KJVFor as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

KJVTherefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

KJVThen shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith 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.

KJVAnd I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. {one...: Heb. a man against his brother} {but...: Heb. from destroying them}

KJVHear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken.

KJVGive glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, {and} make {it} gross darkness.

KJVBut if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for {your} pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.

KJVSay unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, {even} the crown of your glory. {principalities: or, head tires}

KJVThe cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open {them}: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.

KJVLift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where {is} the flock {that} was given thee, thy beautiful flock?

KJVWhat wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them {to be} captains, {and} as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail? {punish: Heb visit upon}

KJVAnd if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, {and} thy heels made bare. {made...: or, shall be violently taken away}

KJVCan the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? {then} may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. {accustomed: Heb. taught}

KJVTherefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.

KJVThis {is} thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

KJVTherefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.

KJVI have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, {and} thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when {shall it} once {be}? {when...: Heb. after when yet?}
