Jeremiah 13:12-19
English Standard Version
The Jars Filled with Wine
12 “You shall speak to them this word: ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, “Every jar shall be filled with wine.”’ And they will say to you, ‘Do we not indeed know that (A)every jar will be filled with wine?’ 13 Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord: (B)Behold, I will fill with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land: (C)the kings who sit on David's throne, (D)the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 14 And I will (E)dash them one against another, fathers and sons together, declares the Lord. I will not pity or spare or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.’”
Exile Threatened
15 Hear and give ear; be not proud,
for the Lord has spoken.
16 (F)Give glory to the Lord your God
(G)before he brings darkness,
before your feet stumble
on the twilight mountains,
and (H)while you look for light
he turns it into gloom
and makes it (I)deep darkness.
17 But if you will not listen,
(J)my soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears,
because the Lord's flock has been taken captive.
18 Say to (K)the king and (L)the queen mother:
“Take a lowly seat,
for (M)your beautiful crown
has come down from your head.”
19 (N)The cities of the Negeb are shut up,
with none to open them;
all Judah is taken into exile,
wholly taken into exile.
Jeremiah 13:12-19
New International Version
Wineskins
12 “Say to them: ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Every wineskin should be filled with wine.’ And if they say to you, ‘Don’t we know that every wineskin should be filled with wine?’ 13 then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am going to fill with drunkenness(A) all who live in this land, including the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets and all those living in Jerusalem. 14 I will smash them one against the other, parents and children alike, declares the Lord. I will allow no pity(B) or mercy or compassion(C) to keep me from destroying(D) them.’”
Threat of Captivity
15 Hear and pay attention,
do not be arrogant,
for the Lord has spoken.(E)
16 Give glory(F) to the Lord your God
before he brings the darkness,
before your feet stumble(G)
on the darkening hills.
You hope for light,
but he will turn it to utter darkness
and change it to deep gloom.(H)
17 If you do not listen,(I)
I will weep in secret
because of your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly,
overflowing with tears,(J)
because the Lord’s flock(K) will be taken captive.(L)
