1
Thus
saith
the
LORD
unto
me,
Go
and
get
thee
a
linen
girdle,
and
put
it
upon
thy
loins,
and
put
it
not
in
water.
2
So
I
got
a
girdle
according
to
the
word
of
the
LORD,
and
put
[it]
on
my
loins.
3
And
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
me
the
second
time,
saying,
4
Take
the
girdle
that
thou
hast
got,
which
[is]
upon
thy
loins,
and
arise,
go
to
Euphrates,
and
hide
it
there
in
a
hole
of
the
rock.
5
So
I
went,
and
hid
it
by
Euphrates,
as
the
LORD
commanded
6
And
it
came
to
pass
after
many
days,
that
the
LORD
said
unto
me,
Arise,
go
to
Euphrates,
and
take
the
girdle
from
thence,
which
I
commanded
thee
to
hide
there.
7
Then
I
went
to
Euphrates,
and
digged,
and
took
the
girdle
from
the
place
where
I
had
hid
it:
and,
behold,
the
girdle
was
marred,
it
was
profitable
for
nothing.
8
Then
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
me,
saying,
9
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
After
this
manner
will
I
mar
the
pride
of
Judah,
and
the
great
pride
of
Jerusalem.
10
This
evil
people,
which
refuse
to
hear
my
words,
which
walk
in
the
imagination
of
their
heart,
and
walk
after
other
gods,
to
serve
them,
and
to
worship
them,
shall
even
be
as
this
girdle,
which
is
good
for
nothing.
11
For
as
the
girdle
cleaveth
to
the
loins
of
a
man,
so
have
I
caused
to
cleave
unto
me
the
whole
house
of
Israel
and
the
whole
house
of
Judah,
saith
the
LORD;
that
they
might
be
unto
me
for
a
people,
and
for
a
name,
and
for
a
praise,
and
for
a
glory:
but
they
would
not
hear.
12
Therefore
thou
shalt
speak
unto
them
this
word;
Thus
saith
the
LORD
God
of
Israel,
Every
bottle
shall
be
filled
with
wine:
and
they
shall
say
unto
thee,
Do
we
not
certainly
know
that
every
bottle
shall
be
filled
with
wine?
13
Then
shalt
thou
say
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
Behold,
I
will
fill
all
the
inhabitants
of
this
land,
even
the
kings
that
sit
upon
David’s
throne,
and
the
priests,
and
the
prophets,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
with
drunkenness.
14
And
I
will
dash
them
one
against
another,
even
the
fathers
and
the
sons
together,
saith
the
LORD:
I
will
not
pity,
nor
spare,
nor
have
mercy,
but
destroy
them.
15
Hear
ye,
and
give
ear;
be
not
proud:
for
the
LORD
hath
spoken.
16
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.
17
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.
18
Say
unto
the
king
and
to
the
queen,
Humble
yourselves,
sit
down:
for
your
principalities
shall
come
down,
[even]
the
crown
of
your
glory.
19
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.
20
Lift
up
your
eyes,
and
behold
them
that
come
from
the
north:
where
[is]
the
flock
[that]
was
given
thee,
thy
beautiful
flock?
21
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?
22
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.
23
Can
the
Ethiopian
change
his
skin,
or
the
leopard
his
spots?
[then]
may
ye
also
do
good,
that
are
accustomed
to
do
evil.
24
Therefore
will
I
scatter
them
as
the
stubble
that
passeth
away
by
the
wind
of
the
wilderness.
25
This
[is]
thy
lot,
the
portion
of
thy
measures
from
me,
saith
the
LORD;
because
thou
hast
forgotten
me,
and
trusted
in
falsehood.
26
Therefore
will
I
discover
thy
skirts
upon
thy
face,
that
thy
shame
may
appear.
27
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]?
