1
Thus
the LORD
said
to me, "Go
and buy
yourself a linen
waistband
and put
it around
your waist,
but do not put
it in water."
2
So I bought
the waistband
in accordance with the word
of the LORD
and put
it around
my waist.
3
Then the word
of the LORD
came
to me a second time,
saying,
4
"Take
the waistband
that you have bought,
which
is around
your waist,
and arise,
go
to the Euphrates
and hide
it there
in a crevice
of the rock."
5
So I went
and hid
it by the Euphrates,
as the LORD
had commanded
me.
6
After
many
days
the LORD
said
to me, "Arise,
go
to the Euphrates
and take
from there
the waistband
which
I commanded
you to hide
there."
7
Then I went
to the Euphrates
and dug,
and I took
the waistband
from the place
where
I had hidden
it; and lo,
the waistband
was ruined,
it was totally
worthless.
8
Then the word
of the LORD
came
to me, saying,
9
"Thus
says
the LORD,
'Just so
will I destroy
the
pride
of Judah
and the great
pride
of Jerusalem.
10
'
This
wicked
people,
who refuse
to listen
to My words,
who walk
in the stubbornness
of their hearts
and have gone
after
other
gods
to serve
them and to bow down
to them, let them be just like this
waistband
which
is totally
worthless.
11
'
For as the waistband
cling
s
to the waist
of a man,
so
I made the whole
household
of Israel
and the whole
household
of Judah
cling
to Me,' declares
the LORD,
'that they might be for Me a people,
for renown,
for praise
and for glory;
but they did not listen.'
12
"Therefore you are to speak
this
word
to them, 'Thus
says
the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
"Every
jug
is to be filled
with wine."'
And when they say
to you, 'Do we not very
well know
that every
jug
is to be filled
with wine?'
13
then say
to them, 'Thus
says
the LORD,
"Behold
I am about to fill
all
the inhabitants
of this
land--
the kings
that sit
for David
on his throne,
the priests,
the prophets
and
all
the inhabitants
of Jerusalem--
with drunkenness!
14
"I will dash
them against
each
other,
both the fathers
and the sons
together,"
declares
the LORD.
"I will not show pity
nor
be sorry
nor
have compassion
so as not to destroy
them."'"
15
Listen
and give heed,
do not be haughty,
For the LORD
has spoken.
16
Give
glory
to the LORD
your God,
Before
He brings darkness
And before
your feet
stumble
On the dusky
mountains,
And while you are hoping
for light
He makes
it into deep darkness,
And turns
it into gloom.
17
But if
you will not listen
to it, My soul
will sob
in secret
for such pride;
And my eyes
will bitterly
weep
And flow down
with tears,
Because
the flock
of the LORD
has been taken captive.
18
Say
to the king
and the queen mother,
"Take
a lowly
seat,
For your beautiful
crown
Has come down
from your head."
19
The cities
of the Negev
have been locked
up, And there is no one
to open
them; All
Judah
has been carried
into exile,
Wholly
carried into exile.
20
"Lift
up your eyes
and see
Those coming
from the north.
Where
is the flock
that was given
you, Your beautiful
sheep?
21
"What
will you say
when
He appoints
over
you-- And you yourself
had taught
them-- Former companions
to be head
over
you? Will not pangs
take hold
of you Like
a woman
in childbirth?
22
"If
you say
in your heart,
'
Why
have these things
happened
to me?' Because of the magnitude
of your iniquity
Your skirts
have been removed
And your heels
have been exposed.
23
"Can the Ethiopian
change
his skin
Or the leopard
his spots?
Then you also
can
do good
Who are accustomed
to doing evil.
24
"Therefore I will scatter
them like drifting
straw
To the desert
wind.
25
"This
is your lot,
the portion
measured
to you From Me," declares
the LORD,
"Because
you have forgotten
Me And trusted
in falsehood.
26
"So I Myself
have also
stripped
your skirts
off
over
your face,
That your shame
may be seen.
27
"As for your adulteries
and your lustful neighings,
The lewdness
of your prostitution
On the hills
in the field,
I have seen
your abominations.
Woe
to you, O Jerusalem!
How
long
will you remain
unclean?"
