Jeremiah 13


  1. Thus the Lord said to me:  "Go and get yourself a linen sash, and put it around your waist, but do not put it in water."
  2. So I got a sash according to the word of the Lord, and put it around my waist.
  3. And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying,
  4. "Take the sash that you acquired, which is around your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole in the rock."
  5. "Therefore you shall speak to them this word:  'Thus says the Lord God of Israel:  "Every bottle shall be filled with wine."'  And they will say to you, 'Do we not certainly know that every bottle will be filled with wine?'
  6. "Then you shall say to them. 'Thus says the Lord:  "Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land - - even the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem - - with drunkenness!  (Is. 51:17;   Is. 63:6)
  7. "And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together," says the Lord.  "I will not pity nor spare nor have mercy, but will destroy them."'"  (Job 27:22)
    1. Hear and give ear:
      do not be proud, for the Lord has spoken.
    1. Give glory to the Lord your God before he causes darkness, an before your feet stumble  (Josh. 7:19;   Amos 8:9)  on the dark mountains, and while you are looking for light, He turns it into the shadow of death and make it dense darkness.  (Job 3:5;   Ps. 44:19;   Is. 59:9)
    1. But if you will weep in secret for your pride;  (Jer. 9:1;   Jer. 14:17)  my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears, because the Lord's flock has been taken captive.
    1. Say to the king and to the queen mother, "Humble yourselves; sit down,  (Jer. 22:26)  for your rule shall collapse, the crown of your glory."
