¶ The .xiii. Chapter.
¶ The destruccyon of the Iewes is prefigured, and
their sparsynge abrode, why Israel was receaued to
be the people of God, and why they were forsaken.
A Thus sayth þe; Lord vnto me: go thy
waye, ∧ get me a lynnen breche, ∧
gyrde it aboute thy loynes, ∧ let it
not be wet. Then I got me a breche,
accordynge to the c&obar;maundem&ebar;t of the
Lorde, and put it aboute my loynes. After
this þe; seconde tyme, the Lorde spake vnto
me agayne. Take þe; breche þt; thou hast prepared
∧ put about the, ∧ get þe; vp, ∧ go vnto
Euphrates ∧ hyde it in a hole of þe; rock.
So went I, ∧ hydd it at Euphrates, as the
Lord c&obar;ma&ubar;ded me. And it happened longe
after this, þt; the Lorde spake vnto me. Up,
∧ get þe; to Euphrates, and fet þe; breche from
th&ebar;ce, which I c&obar;maunded þe; to hyde there.
Then went I to Euphrates, ∧ dygged vp,
∧ toke þe; breche from the place where I had
hyd it: ∧ beholde, the breche was corrupt, so
that it was profitable for nothynge.
B Then sayde the Lorde vnto me. Thus
sayeth the Lorde. Euen so wyll I corrupte
þe; pryde of Iuda, ∧ the hye mynde of Ierusalem.
This people is a wicked people, note they
wyll not heare my worde, they folowe the
wicked ymaginacy&obar;s of their awne herte,
∧ hange vpon straunge Goddes, them they
serue ∧ worshyppe: ∧ therfore they shalbe
as this breche, that serueth for nothynge.
For as straytely as a breche lyeth vpon a
mans loynes, so straytely dyd I bynde the
whole house of Israel, and the whole house
of Iuda vnto me, sayeth þe; Lorde: note þt; they
myght be my people: that they myght haue
a glorious name: that they myght be in honour:
but thei wold not obeye me. Therfore
-- --
laye this rydle before them, ∧ saye: Thus
sayeth þe; Lorde God of Israell: Euery pot
shalbe fylled &wt; wyne. And they shal saye:
thynckest þu; we knowe not, that euery pot
shalbe fylled &wt; wyne? Then shalt þu; saye
vnto them. Thus sayeth þe; Lord: Behold,
I shall fyll all þe; inhabitours of thys lande
&wt; dronckennes, the kynges that syt vpon
Dauids stole, þe; prestes ∧ prophetes, &wt; all
that dwell at Ierusalem. And I wyll sett
them one agaynst another, ye, the fathers
agaynst the sonnes, sayeth the Lorde.
C I wyll not pardon them, I wyll not spare
them, ner haue pytie vpon them: but destroye
them. Be obedient, geue eare, take
not disdayne at it, for it is þe; Lord him selfe
that speaketh. Honoure þe; Lord your God
here in, or he take hys lyght from you, ∧ or
euer youre fete stomble in darcknesse at the
hyll: lest when ye loke for the lyght, he turne
it into þe; shadowe ∧ darcknesse of death,
But yf ye wyll not heare me, that geue you
secrete warnyng, I wyll mourne from my
whole hert for youre stubburnes. notePyteously
wyll I wepe, ∧ þe; teares shall gusshe
out of myne eyes. For þe; Lordes flocke shall
be caryed awaye captyue. Tell the kynge
∧ the quene: Humble youre selues, sett you
downe lowe, for your dignytye shall be
throwne downe ∧ the crowne of your glory
shall fall from youre head. The cyties towarde
þe; south shalbe shut vp, ∧ no m&abar; shall
open them. All Iuda shallbe caryed awaye
captyue, so that none shall remayne.
D Lyft vp your eyes, ∧ beholde th&ebar; þt; come
from the North wher is þe; flocke (o þu; l&abar;de) þt;
was gyuen þe;. And wher are thy fatt ∧ ryche
sheape. note To whom wylt þu; make thy mone,
when þe; ennemy shall come vpon the? for þu;
hast taught them thy selfe, ∧ made th&ebar; masters
ouer þe;. Shall not sorowe come vp&obar; þe;,
as on a woman trauayllyng &wt; child? And
yf þu; woldest saye th&ebar; in thyne herte. Wherfore
come these thynges vp&obar; me? noteEu&ebar; for
þe; multytude of thy blasphemyes, shal thy
hynder partes ∧ thy fete be discouered. For
lyke as the man of Iude maye chaunge his
skynne, ∧ þe; cat of þe; mountayne her spottes:
so maye ye þt; be excercysed in euell, do good.
Therfore wyll I scatre them, lyke as þe; stoble
þt; is taken awaye wyth þe; south wynde.
Thys shall be youre porcion, ∧ the porcion
of your measure, wherwith ye shalbe rewarded
of me, sayeth the lorde: because ye haue
forgotten me, ∧ put youre trust in dysceatfull
thynges. noteTherfore shall I turne thy
clothes ouer thy heade, ∧ discouer thy thyghes,
þt; thy preuyties maye be sene, thy aduoutry,
thy deedly malyce, thy beastlinesse,
∧ thy shamefull whordome. For vpon þe; feldes
and hylles I haue sene thy abhominacy&obar;s.
Wo be vnto the (o Ierusalem) when
wylt thou euer be clensed eny more?
