Chap. XIII.
note
By a girdle first vsed and after least of, note 8. is prefigured the reiection of the
Iewes: 12. til Gods mercie recalleth them. 17. The Prophet lamenting
their obstinacie, 22. sheweth that their sinne is the cause of their miserie.
1 Thvs saith our Lord to me: Goe, and get thee note a girdle
of linnen, and thou shalt put it about thy loynes, & shalt
not put it into water.
2 And I got a girdle according to the
word of our Lord, and put it about my loynes.
3 And the
word of our Lord was made to me the second time, saying:
4 Take the girdle, which thou hast gotten, which is about thy
loynes, and rising goe to Euphrates, and hide it there in an
hole of the rocke.
5 And I went, and hidde it in Euphrates,
as our Lord had commanded me.
6 And it came to passe after
manie daies, our Lord said to me: Arise, goe to Euphrates: and
take from thence the girdle, which I commanded thee that
thou shouldst hide it there.
7 And I went to Euphrates, and
digged, and tooke the girdle out of the place, where I had hid
it: and behold the girdle was rotten, so that it was fitte for
noe vse.
8 And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:
9 Thus saith our Lord: so wil I make the pride of Iuda, & the
great pride of Ierusalem.
10 This most wicked people, which
wil not heare my wordes, and walke in the peruersitie of their
hart: and haue gone after strange goddes to serue them, and to
adore them: & they shal be as this girdle, which is fitte for no
vse.
11 For as the girdle cleaueth to the loynes of a man, so haue
I fast ioyned to me al the house of Israel, and al the house of
Iuda, saith our Lord: that they might be my people, and name,
and prayse, and glorie: and they heard not.
12 Thou shalt
say therefore vnto them this word: Thus saith our Lord the
God of Israel: note Euerie bottle shal be filled with wine. And
they shal say to thee: Why, are we ignorant that euerie bottle
-- --
shal be filled with wine?
13 And thou shalt say to them: Thus
saith our Lord: Behold I wil fil al the inhabitants of this land,
& the kinges that of the stocke of Dauid sitte vpon his throne,
and the priests, and the prophets, and al the inhabitants of Ierusalem,
with drunkennes.
14 And I wil disperse them euerie
man from his brother, and the fathers and sonnes together,
saith our Lord: I wil not spare, and I wil not yelde: neither
wil I haue mercie not to destroy them.
15 Heare ye, and geue
eare. Be not eleuated, because our Lord hath spoken.
16 Geue
ye glorie to our Lord your God, before it waxe darke, and before
your feete stumble at the darke mountaines: you shal
looke for light, and he wil turne it into the shadow of death,
and into darkenes.
17 But if you wil not heare this, in secret
my soule shal weepe because of the pride: weeping it shal
weepe, and mine eie shal droppe teares, because the flocke of
our Lord is taken.
18 Say to the king, and to her that ruleth:
Be humbled, sitte downe: because the crowne of your glorie
is come downe from your head.
19 The cities of the South are
shut, and there is none that may open them: al Iuda is transported
with a perfect transmigration.
20 Lift vp your eies, and
see you, that come from the North: where is the flocke that is
geuen thee, thy noble cattel?
21 What wilt thou say when he
shal visite thee? for thou hast taught them against thee, and
instructed them against thyne owne head: shal not sorowes
apprehend thee, as a woman in trauel?
22 And if thou shalt
say in thy hart: Why are these thinges come vnto me? For the
multitude of thine iniquitie, thy more shamelie partes are discouered,
the soles of thy feete are polluted.
23 noteIf the Æthiopian
can change his skinne, or the leopard his spottes: you
also can doe wel, when you haue learned euil.
24 And I wil
scatter them as stubble, which is violently taken with the
winde in the desert.
25 This is thy lot, and portion of thy measure
from me, saith our Lord, because thou hast forgotten me,
and hast trusted in lying.
26 Wherefore I haue also made bare
thy thighes against thy face, and thine ignominie hath appeared,
27 thine adulteries, and thy neying the wickednesse of
thy fornication: vpon the litle hilles in the field I haue seene
thine abominations. Woe to thee Ierusalem, thou wilt not be
made cleane after me: how long yet?
