Jeremiah:13:1-11
bes@Jeremiah:13:1 @ Thus saith the Lord, Go and procure for thyself a linen girdle, and put it about thy loins, and let it not be put in water.
bes@Jeremiah:13:2 @ So I procured the girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.
bes@Jeremiah:13:3 @ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
bes@Jeremiah:13:4 @ Take the girdle that is upon thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
bes@Jeremiah:13:5 @ So I went, and hid it (note:)Gr. in(:note) by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
bes@Jeremiah:13:6 @ And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.
bes@Jeremiah:13:7 @ So I went to the river Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle out of the place where I had buried it: and, behold, it was rotten, utterly good for nothing.
bes@Jeremiah:13:8 @ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord,
bes@Jeremiah:13:9 @ Thus will I mar the pride of Juda, and the pride of Jerusalem;
bes@Jeremiah:13:10 @ even this great pride of the men that will not hearken to my words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them: and they shall be as this girdle, which can be used for nothing.
bes@Jeremiah:13:11 @ For as a girdle cleaves about the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to myself the house of Israel, and the whole house of Juda; that they might be to me a famous people, and a praise, and a glory: but they did not hearken to me.
