The passage recounts the prophet Jeremiah receiving a symbolic acted oracle from God: he is commanded to buy a linen girdle (waistband), wear it, then hide it at the Euphrates, only to retrieve it later and find it rotted and useless. God then interprets this act as a sign that Judah and Jerusalem \u2014 once meant to cling to God as closely as a garment clings to a man's body \u2014 will be similarly ruined and made worthless through their pride, idolatry, and disobedience. The chapter proceeds through several oracles threatening kings, priests, prophets, and all inhabitants with drunkenness, scattering, and captivity at the hands of a northern invader, and closes with the rhetorically pointed declaration that Jerusalem's corruption is as unalterable as an Ethiopian's skin or a leopard's spots. The distinctive feature of the presentation is its comparative textual format, placing the Hebrew, Greek, and English traditions side by side \u2014 a resource suited to biblical scholarship, translation study, or close canonical analysis rather than devotional reading.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah 13","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":2325}
