Jeremiah 13:1-7 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. The Lord told me, “Go and buy a pair of linen shorts. Wear them for a while, but don't wash them.”

2. So I bought a pair of shorts and put them on.

3. Then the Lord said,

4. “Take off the shorts. Go to Parah and hide the shorts in a crack between some large rocks.”

5. And that's what I did.

6. Some time later the Lord said, “Go back and get the shorts.”

7. I went back and dug the shorts out of their hiding place, but the cloth had rotted, and the shorts were ruined.

26-27. You were married to me,but you were unfaithful.You even became a prostituteby worshipping disgusting godson hilltops and in fields.So I'll rip off your clothesand leave you naked and ashamedfor everyone to see.You are doomed!Will you ever be worthyto worship me again?
