Jeremiah 13

13
Symbol of the Linen Sash
1Thus the Lord said to me: “Go and get yourself a linen sash, and put it around your waist, but do not put it in water.” 2So I got a sash according to the word of the Lord, and put it around my waist.
3And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying, 4“Take the sash that you acquired, which is around your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole in the rock.” 5So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
6Now it came to pass after many days that the Lord said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the sash which I commanded you to hide there.” 7Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the sash from the place where I had hidden it; and there was the sash, ruined. It was profitable for nothing.
8Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9“Thus says the Lord: ‘In this manner #Lev. 26:19I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great #(Is. 2:10–17; 23:9); Zeph. 3:11pride of Jerusalem. 10This evil people, who #Jer. 16:12refuse to hear My words, who #Jer. 7:24; 16:12follow the dictates of their hearts, and walk after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be just like this sash which is profitable for nothing. 11For as the sash 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 the Lord, ‘that #(Ex. 19:5, 6; Deut. 32:10, 11)they may become My people, #Jer. 33:9for renown, for praise, and for #Is. 43:21glory; but they would #Ps. 81:11; Jer. 7:13, 24, 26not hear.’
Symbol of the Wine Bottles
12“Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: “Every bottle shall be filled with wine.” ’
And they will say to you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every bottle will be filled with wine?’
13“Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land—even the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem—#Ps. 60:3; 75:8; Is. 51:17; 63:6; Jer. 25:27; 51:7, 57with drunkenness! 14And #2 Chr. 36:17; Ps. 2:9; Is. 9:20, 21; Jer. 19:9–11I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together,” says the Lord. “I will not pity nor spare nor have mercy, but will destroy them.” ’ ”
Pride Precedes Captivity
15Hear and give ear:
Do not be proud,
For the Lord has spoken.
16#Josh. 7:19; Ps. 96:8; Mal. 2:2Give glory to the Lord your God
Before He causes #Is. 5:30; 8:22; Amos 8:9darkness,
And before your feet stumble
On the dark mountains,
And while you are #Is. 59:9looking for light,
He turns it into #Ps. 44:19; Jer. 2:6the shadow of death
And makes it dense darkness.
17But if you will not hear it,
My soul will #Ps. 119:136; Jer. 9:1; 14:17; Luke 19:41, 42weep in secret for your pride;
My eyes will weep bitterly
And run down with tears,
Because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.
18Say to #2 Kin. 24:12; Jer. 22:26the king and to the queen mother,
“Humble yourselves;
Sit down,
For your rule shall collapse, the crown of your glory.”
19The cities of the South shall be shut up,
And no one shall open them;
Judah shall be carried away captive, all of it;
It shall be wholly carried away captive.
20Lift up your eyes and see
Those who come from the #Jer. 10:22; 46:20north.
Where is the flock that was given to you,
Your beautiful sheep?
21What will you say when He punishes you?
For you have taught them
To be chieftains, to be head over you.
Will not #Jer. 6:24pangs seize you,
Like a woman in labor?
22And if you say in your heart,
#Jer. 16:10“Why have these things come upon me?”
For the greatness of your iniquity
#Is. 47:2; Ezek. 16:37; Nah. 3:5Your skirts have been uncovered,
Your heels made bare.
23Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots?
Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil.
24“Therefore I will #Lev. 26:33; Jer. 9:16; Ezek. 5:2, 12scatter them #Ps. 1:4; Hos. 13:3like stubble
That passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
25#Job 20:29; Ps. 11:6; Matt. 24:51This is your lot,
The portion of your measures from Me,” says the Lord,
“Because you have forgotten Me
And trusted in #Jer. 10:14falsehood.
26Therefore #Lam. 1:8; Ezek. 16:37; Hos. 2:10I will uncover your skirts over your face,
That your shame may appear.
27I have seen your adulteries
And your lustful #Jer. 5:7, 8neighings,
The lewdness of your harlotry,
Your abominations #Is. 65:7; Jer. 2:20; Ezek. 6:13on the hills in the fields.
Woe to you, O Jerusalem!
Will you still not be made clean?”
