Jeremiah 13 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

The Ruined Waistband

Jer 13:1Thus said Jehovah unto me: Go and buy thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins; but dip it not in water.

Jer 13:2And I bought a girdle according to the word of Jehovah, and put it upon my loins.

Jer 13:3And the word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying,

Jer 13:4Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

Jer 13:6

Jer 13:6And it came to pass at the end of many days, that Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence which I commanded thee to hide there.

Jer 13:8

Jer 13:8And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

Jer 13:9

Jer 13:9Thus saith Jehovah: After this manner will I spoil the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

Jer 13:10

Jer 13:10This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and go after other gods, to serve them and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle which is good for nothing.

Jer 13:11

Jer 13:11For as a 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 Jehovah; 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.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
