Jeremiah:13:1-11
vw@Jeremiah:13:1 @ Thus Jehovah said to me, Go and buy for yourself a linen waistband, and put it around your waist, and do not put it in water.
vw@Jeremiah:13:2 @ So I bought a waistband according to the Word of Jehovah, and put it around my waist.
vw@Jeremiah:13:3 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me a second time, saying,
vw@Jeremiah:13:4 @ Take the waistband that you bought, which is around your waist, and arise. Go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
vw@Jeremiah:13:5 @ So I went and hid it by Euphrates, as Jehovah commanded me.
vw@Jeremiah:13:6 @ And it came to pass at the end of many days that Jehovah said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates and take the waistband from there, which I commanded you to hide there.
vw@Jeremiah:13:7 @ Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and took the waistband from the place where I had hidden it. And, behold, the waistband was rotten; it was good for nothing.
vw@Jeremiah:13:8 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
vw@Jeremiah:13:9 @ Thus says Jehovah, In this way I will spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
vw@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 bow down to them, shall even be like this waistband, which is good for nothing.
vw@Jeremiah:13:11 @ For as the waistband clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to Me, says Jehovah; so that they might be a people unto Me, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory; but they would not hear.
