I went and buried it at Perath, as GOD had commanded me.
This wicked people who refuse to heed My bidding, who follow the willfulness of their own hearts, who follow other gods and serve them and worship them, shall become like that loincloth, which is not good for anything.
For as a loincloth clings close to a man’s loins, so I brought close to Me the whole House of Israel and the whole House of Judah—declares GOD—that they might be My people, for fame, and praise, and splendor. But they would not obey.
And speak this word to them: Thus said the ETERNAL, the God of Israel: “Every jar should be filled with wine.” And when they say to you, “Don’t we know that every jar should be filled with wine?”
say to them, “Thus said GOD: I am going to fill with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings who sit on the throne of David, and the priests and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
And I will smash them one against the other, parents and children alike—declares GOD; no pity, compassion, or mercy will stop Me from destroying them.”

Attend and give ear; be not haughty,For GOD has spoken.
Give honor to the ETERNAL your GodBefore darkness descends,Before your feet stumbleOn the mountains in shadow—When you hope for light,And it is turned to darknessAnd becomes deep gloom.
For if you will not give heed,My inmost self must weep,Because of your arrogance;My eye must stream and flowWith copious tears,Because GOD’s flock Is taken captive.

And when you ask yourself,“Why have these things befallen me?”It is because of your great iniquityThat your skirts are lifted up,Your limbs exposed.
