Jeremiah 13:12-17
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)
