Jeremiah 13
1 Thus he said Yahweh to me go and you will buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and you will put it on loins your and in water not you must cause to go it.
Thus saith Yhwh unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.
2 And I bought the loincloth according to [the] word of Yahweh and I put [it] on loins my.
So I got a girdle according to the word of Yhwh, and put it on my loins.
3 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me a second [time] saying.
And the word of Yhwh came unto me the second time, saying,
4 Take the loincloth which you bought which [is] on loins your and arise go Perath towards and hide it there in [the] cleft of the rock.
Take 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.
5 And I went and I hid it at Perath just as he had commanded Yahweh me.
So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as Yhwh commanded me.
6 And it was from [the] end of days many and he said Yahweh to me arise go Perath towards and take from there the loincloth which I commanded you to hide it there.
And it came to pass after many days, that Yhwh said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
7 And I went Perath towards and I dug and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it there and there! it was ruined the loincloth not it was profitable for anything.
Then 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.
8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Then the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
9 Thus he says Yahweh thus I will ruin [the] pride of Judah and [the] pride of Jerusalem great.
Thus saith Yhwh, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
10 The people this wicked who are refusing - to hear words my who walk in [the] stubbornness of own heart their and they have walked after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them and let it be like the loincloth this which not it is profitable for anything.
This 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.
11 For just as it clings loincloth to [the] loins of a person so I have made cling to me all [the] house of Israel and all [the] house of Judah [the] utterance of Yahweh to become for me a people and a name and praise and honor and not they listened.
For 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 Yhwh; 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.
12 And you will speak to them the word this. Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel every wineskin it will be filled wine and they will say to you ¿ really not do we know that every wineskin it will be filled wine.
Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith Yhwh 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?
13 And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to fill all [the] inhabitants of the land this and the kings who sit for David on throne his and the priests and the prophets and all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem drunkenness.
Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh, 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 smash them each to brother his and the parents and the children alike [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will show pity and not I will have mercy and not I will have compassion from destroying them.
And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith Yhwh: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
15 Hear and give ear may not you be haughty for Yahweh he has spoken.
Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for Yhwh hath spoken.
16 Give to Yahweh God your glory before he will bring darkness and before they will stumble feet your on mountains of twilight and you will wait for light and he will make it into deep darkness (and he will make [it] *Q(K)*) into thick darkness.
Give glory to Yhwh 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.
17 And if not you will listen to it in secret places it will weep self my because of pride and utterly it will weep and it may run down eye my tear[s] for it has been taken captive [the] flock of Yahweh.
But 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 Yhwh's flock is carried away captive.
18 Say to the king and to the queen-mother make low sit for it has come down [the] place of head your [the] crown of splendor your.
Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
19 [the] cities of The Negev they have been shut up and there not [is one who] opens it has been taken into exile Judah all of it it has been taken into exile completeness.
The 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.
20 (Lift up *Q(K)*) eyes your (and see *Q(K)*) those [who] are coming from [the] north where? [is] the flock [which] it was given to you [the] sheep of beauty your.
Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
21 What? will you say that he will appoint over you and you you taught them over you close friends to chief ¿ not labor-pains will they seize you like a woman giving birth.
What 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?
22 And if you will say in heart your why? have they happened to me these [things] in [the] greatness of iniquity your they have been uncovered skirts your they have suffered violence heels your.
And 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.
23 ¿ Will he change a Cushite skin his and a leopard spots its also you you will be able to do good O [those] trained to do evil.
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24 And I will scatter them like chaff [which] passes away to [the] wind of [the] wilderness.
Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
25 This [is] lot your [the] portion of measure your from with me [the] utterance of Yahweh that you have forgotten me and you have trusted in falsehood.
This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith Yhwh; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26 And also I I will strip off skirts your on face your and it will be visible shame your.
Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.
27 Adulteri your and neighings your [the] wickedness of prostitution your on hills in the field I have seen detestable things your woe! to you O Jerusalem not you are clean after when? yet.
I 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?
