The Ruined Undergarment

This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and buy yourself a linen undergarment and put it around your waist, but do not put it in water.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:4 - “Take the undergarment that you bought, which is around your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates and hide it there in a crevice of the rock.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:5 - So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD had commanded me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:6 - After many days the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates and take from there the undergarment which I commanded you to hide there.”

Listen and pay attention, do not be haughty;

For the LORD has spoken.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:16 -

Give glory to the LORD your God

Before He brings darkness

And before your feet stumble

On the mountains in the dark,

And while you are hoping for light

He makes it into gloom,

And turns it into thick darkness.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:17 -

But if you do not listen to it,

My soul will weep in secret for such pride;

And my eyes will shed

And stream down tears,

Because the flock of the LORD has been taken captive.

Say to the king and the queen mother,

“Take a lowly seat,

For your beautiful crown

Has come down from your head.”

And there is no one to open them;

All Judah has been taken into exile,

Wholly taken into exile.

“Raise your eyes and see

Those coming from the north.

Where is the flock that was given you,

Your beautiful sheep?

And you yourself had taught them—

Former companions to be head over you?

Will sharp pains not take hold of you

Like a woman in childbirth?

“If you say in your heart,

‘Why have these things happened to me?’

Because of the magnitude of your wrongdoing

Your skirts have been removed

And your [fn]heels have suffered violence.

“Can the Ethiopian change his skin,

Or the leopard his spots?

Then you as well can do good

Who are accustomed to doing evil.

To the desert wind.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:25 -

From Me,” declares the LORD,

“Because you have forgotten Me

And trusted in falsehood.

So that your shame will be seen.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:27 -

“As for your adulteries and your lustful neighings,

The outrageous sin of your prostitution

On the hills in the field,

I have seen your abominations.

Woe to you, Jerusalem!

How long will you remain unclean?”
