Jeremiah 13
[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 me. [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?

Jeremiah 14
[1] The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth. [2] Judah
mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and
the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. [3] And their nobles have sent their little
ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned
with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their
heads. [4] Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the
plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. [5] Yea, the hind also calved
in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.
[6] And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind
like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass. [7] O LORD,
though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for
our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. [8] O the hope of
Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a
stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a
night? [9] Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot
save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name;
leave us not.
[10] Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they
have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will
now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. [11] Then said the LORD unto
me, Pray not for this people for their good. [12] When they fast, I will not
hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not
accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by
the pestilence. [13] Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto
them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give
you assured peace in this place.
[14] Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent
them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy
unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit
of their heart.
[15] Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my
name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this
land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. [16] And the people
to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of
the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their
wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness
upon them. [17] Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run
down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter
of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow. [18] If
I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter
into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the
prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not. [19] Hast thou
utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us,
and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and
for the time of healing, and behold trouble! [20] We acknowledge, O LORD, our
wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
[21] Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy
glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. [22] Are there any among the
vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers?
art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou
hast made all these things.

Jeremiah 15
[1] Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my
mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them
go forth.
[2] And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go
forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death,
to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the
famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
[3] And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay,
and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth,
to devour and destroy.
[4] And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because
of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in
Jerusalem.
[5] For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee?
or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? [6] Thou hast forsaken me, saith
the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against
thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
[7] And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave
them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their
ways.
[8] Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought
upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have
caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. [9] She that
hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down
while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of
them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
[10] Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of
contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent
to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me. [11] The LORD said, Verily
it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat
thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
[12] Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? [13] Thy substance and
thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy
sins, even in all thy borders. [14] And I will make thee to pass with thine
enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine
anger, which shall burn upon you. [15] O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and
visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy
longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
[16] Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy
and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
[17] I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone
because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. [18] Why is my
pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou
be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? [19] Therefore thus
saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt
stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt
be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
[20] And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall
fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee
to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. [21] And I will deliver thee
out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the
terrible.

Jeremiah 16
[1] The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying, [2] Thou shalt not take
thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.
[3] For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters
that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and
concerning their fathers that begat them in this land; [4] They shall die of
grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but
they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by
the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of
heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. [5] For thus saith the LORD, Enter not
into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have
taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and
mercies. [6] Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall
not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make
themselves bald for them:
[7] Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for
the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their
father or for their mother. [8] Thou shalt not also go into the house of
feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
[9] For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause
to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth,
and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the
bride.
[10] And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these
words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all
this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we
have committed against the LORD our God? [11] Then shalt thou say unto them,
Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after
other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken
me, and have not kept my law; [12] And ye have done worse than your fathers;
for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that
they may not hearken unto me:
[13] Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not,
neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night;
where I will not shew you favour. [14] Therefore, behold, the days come, saith
the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
[15] But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land
of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will
bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. [16] Behold, I
will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after
will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and
from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. [17] For mine eyes are upon
all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid
from mine eyes. [18] And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin
double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance
with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things. [19] O LORD, my
strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles
shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our
fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
[20] Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? [21] Therefore,
behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine
hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
