Jeremiah 13:6-16

6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, "Arise, go to the Euphrates and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there."
7 Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, 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: `In this manner will I mar the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, who walk in the stubbornness 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 as a people, and as a name, and as praise, and as 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 shall 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.
