13:1 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 unto me, Go 1980 8800 and get 7069 8804 thee a linen 6593 girdle 232, and put 7760 8804 it upon thy loins 4975, and put 935 8686 it not in water 4325.

13:2 So I got 7069 8799 a girdle 232 according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, and put 7760 8799 [it] on my loins 4975.

13:3 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me the second time 8145, saying 559 8800,

13:4 Take 3947 8798 the girdle 232 that thou hast got 7069 8804, which [is] upon thy loins 4975, and arise 6965 8798, go 3212 8798 to Euphrates 6578, and hide 2934 8798 it there in a hole 5357 of the rock 5553.

13:5 So I went 3212 8799, and hid 2934 8799 it by Euphrates 6578, as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 me.

13:6 And it came to pass after 7093 many 7227 days 3117, that the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto me, Arise 6965 8798, go 3212 8798 to Euphrates 6578, and take 3947 8798 the girdle 232 from thence, which I commanded 6680 8765 thee to hide 2934 8800 there.

13:7 Then I went 3212 8799 to Euphrates 6578, and digged 2658 8799, and took 3947 8799 the girdle 232 from the place 4725 where I had hid 2934 8804 it: and, behold, the girdle 232 was marred 7843 8738, it was profitable 6743 8799 for nothing.

13:8 Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559 8800,

13:9 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, After this manner will I mar 7843 8686 the pride 1347 of Judah 3063, and the great 7227 pride 1347 of Jerusalem 3389.

13:10 This evil 7451 people 5971, which refuse 3987 to hear 8085 8800 my words 1697, which walk 1980 8802 in the imagination 8307 of their heart 3820, and walk 3212 8799 after 310 other 312 gods 430, to serve 5647 8800 them, and to worship 7812 8692 them, shall even be as this girdle 232, which is good 6743 8799 for nothing.(imagination: or, stubbornness)

13:11 For as the girdle 232 cleaveth 1692 8799 to the loins 4975 of a man 376, so have I caused to cleave 1692 8689 unto me the whole house 1004 of Israel 3478 and the whole house 1004 of Judah 3063, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068; that they might be unto me for a people 5971, and for a name 8034, and for a praise 8416, and for a glory 8597: but they would not hear 8085 8804.

13:12 Therefore thou shalt speak 559 8804 unto them this word 1697; Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, Every bottle 5035 shall be filled 4390 8735 with wine 3196: and they shall say 559 8804 unto thee, Do we not certainly 3045 8800 know 3045 8799 that every bottle 5035 shall be filled 4390 8735 with wine 3196?

13:13 Then shalt thou say 559 8804 unto them, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, Behold, I will fill 4390 8764 all the inhabitants 3427 8802 of this land 776, even the kings 4428 that sit 3427 8802 upon David's 1732 throne 3678, and the priests 3548, and the prophets 5030, and all the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389, with drunkenness 7943.

13:14 And I will dash 5310 8765 them one 376 against another 251, even the fathers 1 and the sons 1121 together 3162, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068: I will not pity 2550 8799, nor spare 2347 8799, nor have mercy 7355 8762, but destroy 7843 8687 them.(one…: Heb. a man against his brother)(but…: Heb. from destroying them)

13:15 Hear 8085 8798 ye, and give ear 238 8685; be not proud 1361 8799: for the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696 8765.

13:16 Give 5414 8798 glory 3519 to the LORD 3068 your God 430, before he cause darkness 2821 8686, and before your feet 7272 stumble 5062 8691 upon the dark 5399 mountains 2022, and, while ye look 6960 8765 for light 216, he turn 7760 8804 it into the shadow of death 6757, [and] make 7896 8798 8675 7896 8799 [it] gross darkness 6205.

13:17 But if ye will not hear 8085 8799 it, my soul 5315 shall weep 1058 8799 in secret places 4565 for 6440 [your] pride 1466; and mine eye 5869 shall weep 1830 8799 sore 1830 8800, and run down 3381 8799 with tears 1832, because the LORD'S 3068 flock 5739 is carried away captive 7617 8738.

13:18 Say 559 8798 unto the king 4428 and to the queen 1377, Humble 8213 8685 yourselves, sit down 3427 8798: for your principalities 4761 shall come down 3381 8804, [even] the crown 5850 of your glory 8597.(principalities: or, head tires)

13:19 The cities 5892 of the south 5045 shall be shut up 5462 8795, and none shall open 6605 8802 [them]: Judah 3063 shall be carried away captive 1540 8717 all of it, it shall be wholly 7965 carried away captive 1540 8717.

13:20 Lift up 5375 8798 your eyes 5869, and behold 7200 8798 them that come 935 8802 from the north 6828: where [is] the flock 5739 [that] was given 5414 8738 thee, thy beautiful 8597 flock 6629?

13:21 What wilt thou say 559 8799 when he shall punish 6485 8799 thee? for thou hast taught 3925 8765 them [to be] captains 441, [and] as chief 7218 over thee: shall not sorrows 2256 take 270 8799 thee, as a woman 802 in travail 3205 8800?(punish: Heb visit upon)

13:22 And if thou say 559 8799 in thine heart 3824, Wherefore come 7122 8804 these things upon me? For the greatness 7230 of thine iniquity 5771 are thy skirts 7757 discovered 1540 8738, [and] thy heels 6119 made bare 2554 8738.(made…: or, shall be violently taken away)

13:23 Can the Ethiopian 3569 change 2015 8799 his skin 5785, or the leopard 5246 his spots 2272? [then] may 3201 8799 ye also do good 3190 8687, that are accustomed 3928 to do evil 7489 8687.(accustomed: Heb. taught)

13:24 Therefore will I scatter 6327 8686 them as the stubble 7179 that passeth away 5674 8802 by the wind 7307 of the wilderness 4057.

13:25 This [is] thy lot 1486, the portion 4490 of thy measures 4055 from me, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068; because thou hast forgotten 7911 8804 me, and trusted 982 8799 in falsehood 8267.

13:26 Therefore will I discover 2834 8804 thy skirts 7757 upon thy face 6440, that thy shame 7036 may appear 7200 8738.

13:27 I have seen 7200 8804 thine adulteries 5004, and thy neighings 4684, the lewdness 2154 of thy whoredom 2184, [and] thine abominations 8251 on the hills 1389 in the fields 7704. Woe 188 unto thee, O Jerusalem 3389! wilt thou not be made clean 2891 8799? when [shall it] once 5750 310 [be]?(when…: Heb. after when yet?)
