1This is what the LORD said to me: "Go and buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it around your waist, but do not let it touch water."
“Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle and put it upon thy loins and put it not in water.”
2So I bought a loincloth as the LORD had instructed me, and I put it around my waist.
“So I got a girdle according to the Word of the Lord and put it on my loins”
“So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord and put it on my loins.”
3Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time:
“And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time saying,”
“and The Word of the Lord came unto me the second time saying”
“And the word of the Lord came to me the second time saying”
“and the word of the Lord came to me a second time”
“And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time saying,”
“Then the word of the Lord came to me a second time.”
4"Take the loincloth that you bought and are wearing, and go at once to Perath and hide it there in a crevice of the rocks."
“Take the girdle that thou hast got which is upon thy loins and arise and go to Euphrates and hide it there in a hole of the rock.”
“take the girdle that thou hast got. Which is upon thy loins and arise go to Euphrates and hide it there in a hole in the rock.”
5So I went and hid it at Perath, as the LORD had commanded me.
“so I went and hid it by Euphrates as the Lord commanded me.”
6Many days later the LORD said to me, "Arise, go to Perath, and get the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there."
“And it came to pass after many days that the Lord said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates and take the girdle from thence which I have commanded thee to hide there.”
7So I went to Perath and dug up the loincloth, and I took it from the place where I had hidden it. But now it was ruined—of no use at all.
“Then I went to Euphrates and digged and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it. And behold, the girdle was marred. It was profitable for nothing.”
“I went to the river Euphrates and digged. And I took the girdle from the place where I had hid it. And behold, the girdle was marred. It was profitable for nothing.”
8Then the word of the LORD came to me:
“Then the word of the Lord came unto me saying,”
“Then the word of the Lord came unto me saying.”
“Then the word of the Lord came to me.”
“Then the word of the Lord came to me,”
“Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,”
“then the word of the Lord came to me.”
9"This is what the LORD says: In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
“Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.”
“Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.”
“thus sayeth the Lord after this manner, will I mar the pride of Judah, the great pride of Jerusalem,”
“thus says the Lord, after this manner will I mar the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.”
10These evil people, who refuse to listen to My words, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who go after other gods to serve and worship them, they will be like this loincloth—of no use at all.
“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.”
“This evil people which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their hearts and walk after other gods to serve them and to worship them shall even be as this girdle which is good for nothing.”
“this evil people, which refused to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart and walk after other gods to serve them and worship them shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing”
“This evil people which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, they walk after other gods to serve them, to worship them, shall even be as this girdle which is good for nothing.”
11For just as a loincloth clings to a man's waist, so I have made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to Me, declares the LORD, so that they might be My people for My renown and praise and glory. But they did not listen.
“For as the girdle cleaves 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…”
“For as the waistband clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole household of Israel and the whole household of Judah cling to me, declares the Lord, that they might be for me a people for renown, for praise and for glory.…”
“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…”
“for as the girdle cleaves to the loins of a man. So if I cause to Cleveland to me, the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, sayeth the Lord that they might be unto me for a people and for a name and for a praise…”
“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 name and for praise and…”
12Therefore you are to tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Every wineskin shall be filled with wine.' And when they reply, 'Don't we surely know that every wineskin should be filled with wine?'
“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 to thee, do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?”
“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?”
13then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: 'I am going to fill with drunkenness all who live in this land—the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the people of Jerusalem.
“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…”
“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…”
“Then shalt thou say unto them, thus saith the Lord, behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of the land. Even the Kings that sit upon David's throne and the priests, the prophets and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with…”
14I will smash them against one another, fathers and sons alike, declares the LORD. I will allow no mercy or pity or compassion to keep Me from destroying them.'"
“And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord. And I will not pity nor spare nor have mercy, but destroy them.”
“And I will dash them one against another, even as the fathers, the sons together saith the Lord, I will not pity nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.”
15Listen and give heed. Do not be arrogant, for the LORD has spoken.
“Hear ye and give ear, be not proud for the Lord has spoken.”
“Hear ye and give ear. Be not proud. For the Lord. Hath spoken.”
“Hear and give ear, be not proud for the Lord God has spoken.”
“Hear you and give ear, be not proud for the Lord has spoken.”
“Hear ye and give ear, be not proud. For the Lord has spoken,”
“Hear ye, and give air, be not proud, for the Lord hath spoken.”
16Give glory to the LORD your God before He brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the dusky mountains. You wait for light, but He turns it into deep gloom and thick darkness.
