gltv Jeremiah:13:1-11
gltv@Jeremiah:13:1 @ So says Jehovah to me, Go and buy for yourself a linen band, and put it on your loins, and do not put it in water.
gltv@Jeremiah:13:2 @ So I bought a band according to the word of Jehovah and put it on my loins.
gltv@Jeremiah:13:3 @ And the word of Jehovah came to me a second time, saying,
gltv@Jeremiah:13:4 @ Take the band that you bought, which is on your loins, and rise up. Go to Euphrates and hide it there in the cleft of the rock.
gltv@Jeremiah:13:5 @ So I went and hid it by Euphrates, as Jehovah commanded me.
gltv@Jeremiah:13:6 @ And it happened at the end of many days, Jehovah said to me, Rise up, go to Euphrates and take the band from there, which I commanded you to hide there.
gltv@Jeremiah:13:7 @ And I went to Euphrates and dug, and I took the band from the place, there where I had hidden it. And behold, the band was rotted! It was not useful for anything.
gltv@Jeremiah:13:8 @ Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
gltv@Jeremiah:13:9 @ So says Jehovah, So I will spoil the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
gltv@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 band which is not useful for anything.
gltv@Jeremiah:13:11 @ For as this band 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 Jehovah, to be to Me for a people, and for a name, and for praise, and for glory; but they would not listen.
