The LORD said to me, “Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and don’t put it in water.” Heb 1:1Jer 13:11Ezk 4:1-5Jer 19:1Jer 27:2
So I bought a belt according to the LORD’s word, and put it on my waist. Ezk 2:8Isa 20:2Jhn 15:14Pro 3:5Hos 1:2-3Jhn 13:6-7
The LORD’s word came to me the second time, saying, Jer 13:8 “Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.” Jer 51:63-64Mic 4:10Psa 137:1
So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me. Exo 40:16Exo 39:42-432Ti 2:3Act 26:19-20Heb 11:17-19Heb 11:8Jhn 2:5-8Mat 22:2-6
After many days, the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there.”
Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and behold, the belt was ruined. It was profitable for nothing. Isa 64:6Rom 3:12Ezk 15:3-5Jer 13:10Jer 24:1-8Luk 14:34-35Phm 1:11Zec 3:3-4
Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying, “The LORD says, ‘In this way I will ruin the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. Lev 26:19Isa 2:10-17Isa 23:9Jer 13:15-17Pro 16:18Zep 3:111Pe 5:5Ezk 16:50 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them and to worship them, will even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing. Jer 16:12Jer 9:142Ch 36:15-16Num 14:11Act 7:51Eph 4:17-19Jer 11:7-8Jer 13:7 For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to me,’ says the LORD; ‘that they may be to me for a people, for a name, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.’ Exo 19:5-6Isa 43:21Jer 33:9Psa 81:111Pe 2:9Deu 26:18Deu 32:10-15Deu 4:7
“Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says, “Every container should be filled with wine.”’ They will tell you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every container should be filled with wine?’ Ezk 24:19 Then tell them, ‘The LORD says, “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. Isa 51:17Isa 63:6Psa 60:3Psa 75:8Hab 2:16Isa 49:26Jer 25:27Jer 51:7 I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together,” says the LORD: “I will not pity, spare, or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.”’” Deu 29:20Psa 2:9Isa 27:11Isa 9:20-21Jer 19:9-11Jer 21:7Jer 6:211Sa 14:16
Hear, and give ear. Isa 28:14-22Rev 2:29Act 4:19-20Amo 7:15Isa 42:23Jas 4:10Jer 26:15Jol 1:2
Don’t be proud,
for the LORD has spoken.
Give glory to the LORD your God, Isa 59:9Isa 8:22Isa 60:2Pro 4:19Isa 5:30Jos 7:19Amo 8:9-101Sa 6:5
before he causes darkness,
and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains,
and while you look for light,
he turns it into the shadow of death,
and makes it deep darkness.
But if you will not hear it, Mal 2:2Jer 14:17Jer 9:1Luk 19:41-42Psa 80:1Rom 9:2-41Sa 15:35Ezk 34:31
my soul will weep in secret for your pride.
My eye will weep bitterly,
and run down with tears,
because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.
Say to the king and to the queen mother, Jer 22:262Ki 24:122Ki 24:152Ch 33:122Ch 33:19Isa 47:11Pe 5:62Ch 33:23
“Humble yourselves.
Sit down, for your crowns have come down,
even the crown of your glory.
The cities of the South are shut up, Jer 52:272Ki 25:21Deu 28:52Jer 39:9Jer 52:30Deu 28:15Deu 28:64-68Ezk 20:46-47
and there is no one to open them.
Judah is carried away captive: all of them.
They are wholly carried away captive.
Lift up your eyes, Jer 6:22Hab 1:6Jer 1:14Jer 23:2Act 20:26-29Jer 10:22Jer 13:17Isa 56:9-12
and see those who come from the north.
Where is the flock that was given to you,
your beautiful flock?
What will you say when he sets over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Isa 13:8Jer 4:31Isa 10:3Isa 39:2-4Jer 38:22Jer 5:311Th 5:32Ki 16:7
Won’t sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
If you say in your heart, Nam 3:5Jer 16:10-11Jer 5:19Deu 7:17Hos 2:10Jer 13:26Jer 9:2-9Lam 1:8
“Why have these things come on me?”
Your skirts are uncovered because of the greatness of your iniquity,
and your heels suffer violence.
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, Jer 2:22Jer 9:5Mat 19:24-28Jer 17:9Jer 2:30Jer 5:3Isa 1:5Jer 6:29-30
or the leopard his spots?
Then may you also do good,
who are accustomed to do evil.
“Therefore I will scatter them Psa 1:4Lev 26:33Ezk 5:12Ezk 5:2Hos 13:3Deu 28:64Deu 32:26Deu 4:27
as the stubble that passes away
by the wind of the wilderness.
This is your lot, Job 20:29Psa 9:17Jer 2:32Mat 24:51Psa 11:6Isa 28:15Jer 2:13Jer 7:4-8
the portion measured to you from me,” says the LORD,
“because you have forgotten me,
and trusted in falsehood.”
Therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, Hos 2:10Lam 1:8Ezk 16:37Ezk 23:29Jer 13:22
and your shame will appear.
I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries Ezk 24:13Ezk 6:13Hos 8:5Isa 65:72Co 12:212Co 7:1Ezk 36:37Hos 4:2
and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution,
on the hills in the field.
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
You will not be made clean.
How long will it yet be?”
