mkjv - Jeremiah:13:1-11

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:1 @ So says the LORD to me, Go and buy for yourself a linen girdle, and put it on your loins, and do not put [it] in water.

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:2 @ So I bought a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put [it] on my loins.

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:3 @ And the word of the LORD came to me a second time, saying,

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:4 @ Take the girdle that you bought, which [is] on your loins, and arise. Go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:5 @ So I went and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:6 @ And it happened at the end of many days the LORD said to me, Arise, go to Euphrates and take the girdle from there, which I commanded you to hide there.

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:7 @ Then I went to Euphrates and dug, and took the girdle from the place where I had hidden it. And, behold, the girdle was rotted; it was not good for anything.

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:8 @ Then the Word of the LORD came to me, saying,

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:9 @ So says the LORD, In this way I will spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:10 @ This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart and walk after other gods to serve them and to worship them, shall even be like this girdle, which is good for nothing.

mkjv@Jeremiah:13:11 @ For as the girdle holds fast to the loins of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to Me, says the LORD; so that they might be to Me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory; but they would not hear.
