Jeremiah 13

1 In the type of a linen girdle, hidden at Euphrates, God prefigureth the destruction of his people. 12 Under the parable of the bottles filled with wine he foretelleth their drunkeness in misery. 15 He exhorteth to prevent their future judgments. 22 He sheweth their abominations are the cause thereof.

 13:1 ¶ Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 unto x413 me, Go 1980 z8800 and get 7069 z8804 thee a linen 6593 girdle, 232 and put 7760 z8804 it upon x5921 thy loins, 4975 and put 935 z8686 it not x3808 in water. 4325

 13:2 So I got 7069 z8799 x853 a girdle 232 according to the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 and put 7760 z8799 [it] on x5921 my loins. 4975

 13:3 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 unto x413 me the second time, 8145 saying, 559 z8800

 13:4 Take 3947 z8798 x853 the girdle 232 that x834 thou hast got, 7069 z8804 which x834 [is] upon x5921 thy loins, 4975 and arise, 6965 z8798 go y3212 z8798 x1980 to Euphrates, 6578 and hide 2934 z8798 it there x8033 in a hole 5357 of the rock. 5553

 13:5 So I went, y3212 z8799 x1980 and hid 2934 z8799 it by Euphrates, 6578 as x834 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 z8765 me.

 13:6 And it came to pass x1961 after 7093 x4480 many 7227 days, 3117 that the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Arise, 6965 z8798 go y3212 z8798 x1980 to Euphrates, 6578 and take 3947 z8798 x853 the girdle 232 from thence, x4480 x8033 which x834 I commanded 6680 z8765 thee to hide 2934 z8800 there. x8033

 13:7 Then I went y3212 z8799 x1980 to Euphrates, 6578 and digged, 2658 z8799 and took 3947 z8799 x853 the girdle 232 from x4480 the place 4725 where x834 x8033 I had hid 2934 z8804 it: and, behold, x2009 the girdle 232 was marred, 7843 z8738 it was profitable 6743 z8799 for nothing. x3808 x3605

 13:8 Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 unto x413 me, saying, 559 z8800

 13:9 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 After this manner x3602 will I mar 7843 z8686 the pride 1347 of Judah, 3063 and the great 7227 pride 1347 of Jerusalem. 3389

 13:10 This x2088 evil 7451 people, 5971 which refuse 3987 to hear 8085 z8800 x853 my words, 1697 which walk 1980 z8802 in the imagination 8307 of their heart, 3820 and walk y3212 z8799 x1980 after 310 other 312 gods, 430 to serve 5647 z8800 them, and to worship 7812 z8692 them, shall even be x1961 as this x2088 girdle, 232 which x834 is good 6743 z8799 for nothing. x3808 x3605

 13:11 For x3588 as x834 the girdle 232 cleaveth 1692 z8799 to x413 the loins 4975 of a man, 376 so x3651 have I caused to cleave 1692 z8689 unto x413 me x853 the whole x3605 house 1004 of Israel 3478 and the whole x3605 house 1004 of Judah, 3063 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD; 3068 that they might be x1961 unto me for a people, 5971 and for a name, 8034 and for a praise, 8416 and for a glory: 8597 but they would not x3808 hear. 8085 z8804

 13:12 ¶ Therefore thou shalt speak 559 z8804 unto x413 them x853 this x2088 word; 1697 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 Every x3605 bottle 5035 shall be filled 4390 z8735 with wine: 3196 and they shall say 559 z8804 unto x413 thee, Do we not x3808 certainly y3045 z8800 know 3045 z8799 that x3588 every x3605 bottle 5035 shall be filled 4390 z8735 with wine? 3196

 13:13 Then shalt thou say 559 z8804 unto x413 them, Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Behold, x2009 I will fill 4390 z8764 x853 all x3605 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of this x2063 land, 776 even the kings 4428 that sit 3427 z8802 upon x5921 David's 1732 throne, 3678 and the priests, 3548 and the prophets, 5030 and all x3605 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem, 3389 with drunkenness. 7943

 13:14 And I will dash 5310 z8765 them one 376 against x413 another, 251 even the fathers 1 and the sons 1121 together, 3162 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD: 3068 I will not x3808 pity, 2550 z8799 nor x3808 spare, 2347 z8799 nor x3808 have mercy, 7355 z8762 but destroy 7843 z8687 x4480 them.

 13:15 ¶ Hear 8085 z8798 ye, and give ear; 238 z8685 be not x408 proud: 1361 z8799 for x3588 the LORD 3068 hath spoken. 1696 z8765

 13:16 Give 5414 z8798 glory 3519 to the LORD 3068 your God, 430 before x2962 he cause darkness, 2821 z8686 and before x2962 your feet 7272 stumble 5062 z8691 upon x5921 the dark 5399 mountains, 2022 and, while ye look 6960 z8765 for light, 216 he turn 7760 z8804 it into the shadow of death, 6757 [and] make 7896 z8798 z8675 z8799 [it] gross darkness. 6205

 13:17 But if x518 ye will not x3808 hear 8085 z8799 it, my soul 5315 shall weep 1058 z8799 in secret places 4565 for 6440 x4480 [your] pride; 1466 and mine eye 5869 shall weep y1830 z8799 sore, 1830 z8800 and run down 3381 z8799 with tears, 1832 because x3588 the LORD'S 3068 flock 5739 is carried away captive. 7617 z8738

 13:18 Say 559 z8798 unto the king 4428 and to the queen, 1377 Humble y8213 z8685 yourselves, x8213 sit down: 3427 z8798 for x3588 your principalities 4761 shall come down, 3381 z8804 [even] the crown 5850 of your glory. 8597

 13:19 The cities 5892 of the south 5045 shall be shut up, 5462 z8795 and none x369 shall open 6605 z8802 [them]: Judah 3063 shall be carried away captive 1540 z8717 all x3605 of it, it shall be wholly 7965 carried away captive. 1540 z8717

 13:20 Lift up 5375 z8798 your eyes, 5869 and behold 7200 z8798 them that come 935 z8802 from the north: 6828 x4480 where x346 [is] the flock 5739 [that] was given 5414 z8738 thee, thy beautiful 8597 flock? 6629

 13:21 What x4100 wilt thou say 559 z8799 when x3588 he shall punish 6485 z8799 x5921 thee? for thou x859 hast taught 3925 z8765 them [to be] captains, 441 [and] as chief 7218 over x5921 thee: shall not x3808 sorrows 2256 take 270 z8799 thee, as x3644 a woman 802 in travail? 3205 z8800

 13:22 ¶ And if x3588 thou say 559 z8799 in thine heart, 3824 Wherefore x4069 come 7122 z8804 these things x428 upon me? For the greatness 7230 of thine iniquity 5771 are thy skirts 7757 discovered, 1540 z8738 [and] thy heels 6119 made bare. 2554 z8738

 13:23 Can the Ethiopian 3569 change 2015 z8799 his skin, 5785 or the leopard 5246 his spots? 2272 [then] may 3201 z8799 ye x859 also x1571 do good, 3190 z8687 that are accustomed 3928 to do evil. 7489 z8687

 13:24 Therefore will I scatter 6327 z8686 them as the stubble 7179 that passeth away 5674 z8802 by the wind 7307 of the wilderness. 4057

 13:25 This x2088 [is] thy lot, 1486 the portion 4490 of thy measures 4055 from x4480 x854 me, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD; 3068 because x834 thou hast forgotten 7911 z8804 me, and trusted 982 z8799 in falsehood. 8267

 13:26 Therefore x1571 will I x589 discover 2834 z8804 thy skirts 7757 upon x5921 thy face, 6440 that thy shame 7036 may appear. 7200 z8738

 13:27 I have seen 7200 z8804 thine adulteries, 5004 and thy neighings, 4684 the lewdness 2154 of thy whoredom, 2184 [and] thine abominations 8251 on x5921 the hills 1389 in the fields. 7704 Woe 188 unto thee, O Jerusalem! 3389 wilt thou not x3808 be made clean? 2891 z8799 when x310 [shall it] once 5750 y310 [be]?
