jps@Jeremiah:13:15 @ Hear ye, and give ear, be not proud; for the LORD hath spoken.

jps@Jeremiah:13:16 @ Give glory to the LORD your God, before it grow dark, and before your feet stumble upon the mountains of twilight, and, while ye look for light, He turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

jps@Jeremiah:13:17 @ But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and mine eyes shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.

jps@Jeremiah:13:18 @ Say thou unto the king and to the queen-mother: 'Sit ye down low; for your headtires are come down, even your beautiful crown.'

jps@Jeremiah:13:19 @ The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them; Judah is carried away captive all of it; it is wholly carried away captive.

jps@Jeremiah:13:20 @ Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?

jps@Jeremiah:13:21 @ What wilt thou say, when He shall set the friends over thee as head, whom thou thyself hast trained against thee? Shall not pangs take hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?

jps@Jeremiah:13:22 @ And if thou say in thy heart: 'Wherefore are these things befallen me?'--for the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence.

jps@Jeremiah:13:23 @ Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

jps@Jeremiah:13:24 @ Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.

jps@Jeremiah:13:25 @ This is thy lot, the portion measured unto thee from Me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten Me, and trusted in falsehood.

jps@Jeremiah:13:26 @ Therefore will I also uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall appear.

jps@Jeremiah:13:27 @ Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy harlotry, on the hills in the field have I seen thy detestable acts. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean! When shall it ever be?
