This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
13 Yahweh told me this: Go and buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it on, but don’t let it get near water. 2 So I bought a loincloth as Yahweh had told me to, and I put it on. 3 Then Yahweh gave me a second instruction, saying: 4 Take the loincloth that you bought and you’re wearing, and pack up and go to Perat[fn] and bury it in a crack in the rock. 5 So I went and hid it at Perat just as Yahweh had told me to.
6 Then after many days, Yahweh told me to get ready and go to Perat to retrieve the loincloth that he’d told me to bury there. 7 So I went to Perat and dug the loincloth out from the crack that I’d hidden it in, but wow, it was ruined and totally worthless.
8 Then Yahweh gave me this message: 9 Yahweh says that I’ll rot away the pride of Yehudah (Judah), including the pride of the great Yerushalem (Jerusalem). 10 That wicked nation that refused to listen to my messages, who are following their own stubborn desires and have followed other god by serving them and bowing down to them, let that nation become like that loincloth that’s no good for anything. 11 Yahweh declares that just like a loincloth is hitched to someone’s hips, so too I’ve made all those from Yisrael and Yehudah cling to me, to be my people who would bring me fame, praise, and honour, but they didn’t listen.
13:12 Filled with wine
12 So you must pass this message along to them: Yisrael’s god Yahweh says that every jar will be filled with wine, and they’ll tell you, ‘Of course we know that every jar will be filled with wine.’ 13 So tell them that Yahweh says this: Listen, I’m about to fill all the inhabitants of this land with drunkenness—the kings that sit of David’s throne, the priests and prophets, and all of Yerushalem’s inhabitants. 14 Then Yahweh declares: I’ll cause a drunken brawl among brothers, parents, and children. I won’t pity you or have compassion, and I won’t spare them from destruction.
Don’t be arrogant, because Yahweh has spoken.
16 Give honour to your god Yahweh before he brings darkness,
≈ and before he causes you all to stumble on the mountains at twilight,
because you’re hoping for light, but he’ll turn the place into deep darkness—into a dark cloud.
17 But if you all won’t listen,
I’ll weep in private because of your arrogance.
≈ Tears will run down my eyes because Yahweh’s flock has been taken captive.
18 Tell the king and the queen mother to take a low seat
because their splendid crowns have been removed from their heads.
19 The cities of the Negev have been shut up,
and there’s no one to open them again.
Yehudah has been taken into exile—
they’ve all been taken far away.
20 Look up and see them coming from the north.
Where’s the flock that was given to you—those beautiful sheep?
21 What will you say when the allies that you taught, he sets over you?
Won’t labour pains hit you like a woman giving birth?
22 Then as a country you’ll ask why those things have happened to you.
It’s the magnitude of your disobedience that’s caused your skirt to be lifted
and your body to be treated with violence.
23 An Ethiopian person can’t change their skin colour
≈ and a leopard can’t change its spots.
Similarly you all aren’t able to do good
as you’re all so accustomed to doing evil.
24 I’ll scatter them like straw that’s blown across the wilderness by the wind.
25 Yahweh declares that that’s your part of your inheritance
as you’ve forgotten me and trusted in lies.
26 So I’ll also pull your skirt up over your face
and then your shame will become visible.
27 I’ve seen your adultery and neighing—
the wickedness of your prostitution on the hills and across the countryside.
I’ve seen your detestable behaviour.
You won’t end well, Yerusalem.
How long will you remain ‘unclean’?
13:4 About 6km away from Anatot. It’s possible that the Euphrates River is being referred to here, although less likely as that was a trip of over a thousand kilometres.
