WEBVTT 00:00.620 --> 00:05.920 Chapter 13 Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, 00:06.420 --> 00:08.980 and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. 00:09.880 --> 00:13.640 So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it on my loins. 00:14.320 --> 00:18.740 And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, Take the girdle that 00:18.740 --> 00:24.660 thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it 00:24.660 --> 00:25.860 there in a hole of the rock. 00:26.460 --> 00:29.680 So I went and hid it by Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me. 00:30.640 --> 00:34.940 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said unto me, Arise, 00:35.380 --> 00:39.380 go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide 00:39.380 --> 00:39.640 there. 00:40.420 --> 00:43.500 Then I went to Euphrates and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I 00:43.500 --> 00:43.940 had hid it. 00:44.400 --> 00:45.940 And behold, the girdle was marred. 00:46.380 --> 00:47.660 It was profitable for nothing. 00:48.620 --> 00:53.560 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Thus saith the Lord, After this 00:53.560 --> 00:56.620 manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. 00:57.140 --> 01:01.640 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of 01:01.640 --> 01:05.340 their heart, and walk after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, 01:05.960 --> 01:08.320 shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. 01:09.180 --> 01:14.400 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me 01:14.400 --> 01:18.700 the whole house of Israel, and the whole house of Judah, saith the Lord, 01:19.120 --> 01:22.860 that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, 01:23.080 --> 01:23.900 and for a glory. 01:24.560 --> 01:25.780 But they would not hear. 01:27.140 --> 01:31.660 Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, 01:32.260 --> 01:36.700 Every bottle shall be filled with wine, and they shall say unto thee, Do we not 01:36.700 --> 01:39.040 certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? 01:40.300 --> 01:45.400 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will fill 01:45.400 --> 01:48.820 all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's 01:48.820 --> 01:52.340 throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 01:52.740 --> 01:53.480 with drunkenness. 01:53.940 --> 01:58.260 And I will dash them, one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, 01:58.400 --> 01:59.100 saith the Lord. 01:59.660 --> 02:03.180 I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. 02:04.160 --> 02:05.300 Hear ye, and give ear. 02:05.960 --> 02:08.060 Be not proud, for the Lord hath spoken. 02:09.020 --> 02:12.740 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your 02:12.740 --> 02:14.720 feet stumble upon the dark mountains. 02:15.200 --> 02:19.960 And while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it 02:19.960 --> 02:20.880 gross darkness. 02:21.920 --> 02:26.420 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride. 02:27.020 --> 02:31.940 And mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord's flock is 02:31.940 --> 02:32.960 carried away captive. 02:34.000 --> 02:39.320 Say unto the king, and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down, for your 02:39.320 --> 02:42.720 principality shall come down, even the crown of your glory. 02:43.600 --> 02:46.760 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them. 02:47.440 --> 02:49.680 Judah shall be carried away captive, all of it. 02:49.900 --> 02:51.740 It shall be wholly carried away captive. 02:52.460 --> 02:55.580 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north. 02:56.360 --> 02:59.220 Where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? 03:00.040 --> 03:01.980 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? 03:02.460 --> 03:05.720 For thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee. 03:06.840 --> 03:10.140 Shall not sorrows take thee, as the woman in travail? 03:11.100 --> 03:14.820 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? 03:15.320 --> 03:19.700 For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made 03:19.700 --> 03:20.020 bare. 03:20.840 --> 03:23.840 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? 03:24.540 --> 03:27.600 Then may ye also do good that are accustomed to do evil. 03:28.480 --> 03:31.740 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of 03:31.740 --> 03:32.220 the wilderness. 03:33.460 --> 03:37.360 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the lord. 03:37.900 --> 03:42.160 Because thou hast forgotten me and trusted in falsehood, therefore will I discover 03:42.160 --> 03:45.300 thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. 03:46.580 --> 03:50.820 I have seen thine adulteries and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, 03:51.200 --> 03:53.600 and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. 03:54.480 --> 03:55.800 Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! 03:56.400 --> 03:57.620 Wilt thou not be made clean? 03:58.300 --> 03:59.460 When shall it once be?
