RF JER 13:1 The Parable of the Girdle.
The EVER-LIVING said this to me, "Go and buy yourself a linen girdle, and put it round your waist, but let it not go into water."
RF JER 13:2 I consequently bought the girdle as the EVER-LIVING commanded, and put it round my waist.
RF JER 13:3 Then the EVER-LIVING spoke to me again to say:—
RF JER 13:4 "Take the girdle you bought, which is upon your waist, and rise, go to the Frath and hide it there in the cleft of a rock."
RF JER 13:5 I therefore went and hid it by the Frath as the EVER-LIVING had commanded me.
RF JER 13:6 And at the end of a considerable time the EVER-LIVING said to me, "Get up, and go to the Frath, and bring from there the linen girdle that the EVER-LIVING ordered you to hide there."
RF JER 13:7 So I went to the Frath 1 and dug, and took the linen girdle from the place where I had hidden it, and saw that the linen was spoiled, and fit for nothing.
RF JER 13:8 Then the word of the EVER-LIVING came to me to say:—
RF JER 13:9 "Thus says the EVER-LIVING, I will spoil the pride of Judah, and the many boasts of Jerusalem like that!
RF JER 13:10 This vile People, who refuse to listen to My words, and go on in their own ideas, and walk after seducing gods, to serve and to worship them, shall become like that girdle.
RF JER 13:11 For as the girdle sticks to the waist of a man, so I wished to cause the whole house of Israel, and the whole house of Judah to stick to Me," said the EVER-LIVING, "for them to be My People, and Fame, and Glory, and Honour; but they would not attend.
RF JER 13:12 Therefore say this to them, Thus says the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel, 'Every bottle can be filled with wine!'
"When they will say to you, 'Are we not aware that every bottle can be filled with wine?'
RF JER 13:13 "Then say to them:— Thus says the EVER-LIVING: I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings sitting on David's throne, with the Priests, and the Preachers, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to drunkenness,
RF JER 13:14 when a man will assail his brother, and fathers their children indiscriminately,'" said the EVER-LIVING. "I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy to relieve them."

RF JER 13:15 The Prophet Calls to Repentance.
Be not too proud to listen and hear, for the EVER-LIVING speaks.
RF JER 13:16 Give honour to your EVER-LIVING GOD, before it is dark, and before your feet stumble on the hills of twilight, and you long for light, but there is only desolation with the Shadow of Death, in the realm of gloom!
RF JER 13:17 But if you will not listen, my soul will weep in secret for your pride, and my eyes drop down tears, because the flock of the EVER-LIVING will be captured!
RF JER 13:18 Say to the king and his nobles, "Reflect! Turn! Throw down the beautiful turbans from your heads!
RF JER 13:19 The cities of the south are shut up, and there is none to open, Judah is a captive; all Jerusalem is a captive!"
RF JER 13:20 Raise your eyes and see! They come from the north!—Where is the flock entrusted to you?—Your beautiful sheep?
RF JER 13:21 What can you reply when He enquires of you? when you have instructed them against yourself, teaching to resist? Will not torments seize you like a woman in labour?
RF JER 13:22 The Lord's Address Resumed.
"But if you say to your heart, 'Why have these come?' For your many passions, your skirts are stripped violently from your heels.
RF JER 13:23 "Can the Kushite change his skin? or the leopard his spots? Then you will be able to do good, who are accustomed to do evil!
RF JER 13:24 Therefore I will scatter them like stubble running before the wind to the desert!
RF JER 13:25 This is their destined fate from Me," says the EVER-LIVING, "for those who reject Me, and rely upon falsehood.
RF JER 13:26 So I also will turn your petticoats over your face, and your shame shall be seen!
RF JER 13:27 I have seen your adulteries and neighing, your brothels contrived on the hills in the fields, your abominations, like to you, Jerusalem! You will not purify yourself!—How long will it last?"
