Jeremiah 13 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

The Ruined Waistband

Jer 13:1Thus says the LORD to me, Go, and buy you a linen belt, and put it on your loins, and don't put it in water.

Jer 13:2So I bought a belt according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.

Jer 13:3The word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,

Jer 13:4Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your loins, and arise, go to the Perat, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.

Jer 13:5

Jer 13:5So I went, and hid it by the Perat, as the LORD commanded me.

Jer 13:6

Jer 13:6It happened after many days, that the LORD said to me, Arise, go to the Perat, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there.

Jer 13:7

Jer 13:7Then I went to the Perat, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hid it; and, behold, the belt was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

Jer 13:8

Jer 13:8Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Jer 13:9

Jer 13:9Thus says the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Yehudah, and the great pride of Yerushalayim.

Jer 13:10

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

Jer 13:11

Jer 13:11For as the belt cleaves to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to me the whole house of Yisra'el and the whole house of Yehudah, says the LORD; that they may be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

Jer 13:17

Jer 13:17But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is taken captive.
