kjv Jeremiah:13:15-27 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Hear ye ,
and give ear ;
be not proud :
for the LORD hath spoken .
*
Give glory to the LORD your God ,
before he cause darkness ,
and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains ,
and ,
while ye look for light ,
he turn it into the shadow of death ,
and make it gross darkness .
*
But if ye will not hear it ,
my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride ;
and mine eye shall weep sore ,
and run down with tears ,
because the LORD '
S flock is carried away captive .
*
Say unto the king and to the queen ,
Humble yourselves ,
sit down :
for your principalities shall come down ,
even the crown of your glory .
*
The cities of the south shall be shut up ,
and none shall open them :
Judah shall be carried away captive all of it ,
it shall be wholly carried away captive .
*
Lift up your eyes ,
and behold them that come from the north :
where is the flock that was given thee ,
thy beautiful flock ?
*
What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee ?
for thou hast taught them to be captains ,
and as chief over thee :
shall not sorrows take thee ,
as a woman in travail ?
*
And if thou say in thine heart ,
Wherefore come these things upon me ?
For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered ,
and thy heels made bare .
*
Can the Ethiopian change his skin ,
or the leopard his spots ?
then may ye also do good ,
that are accustomed to do evil .
*
Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness .
*
This is thy lot ,
the portion of thy measures from me ,
saith the LORD ;
because thou hast forgotten me ,
and trusted in falsehood .
*
Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face ,
that thy shame may appear .
*
I have seen thine adulteries ,
and thy neighings ,
the lewdness of thy whoredom ,
and thine abominations on the hills in the fields .
Woe unto thee ,
O Jerusalem !
wilt thou not be made clean ?
when shall it once be ?
