24:013:002 So I got a girdle according to the word of the lord, and put
           it on my loins.

24:013:003 And the word of the lord came unto me the second time, saying,

24:013:004 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins,
           and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the
           rock.

24:013:005 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the lord commanded me.

24:013:006 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 commanded thee to hide there.

24:013:007 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.

24:013:008 Then the word of the lord came unto me, saying,

24:013:009 Thus saith the lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of
           Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

24:013:010 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.

24:013:011 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.

24:013:012 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?

24:013:013 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.

24:013:014 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.

24:013:015 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud:  for the lord hath spoken.

24:013:016 Give glory to the lord your 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.
