Thus
saith the
LORD, After this manner will I
mar the
pride of
Judah, and the
great pride of
Jerusalem.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Give glory to the

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.

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.

The

Judah shall be carried away
captive all of it, it shall be
wholly carried away
captive.
