Isaiah 20:2-4

2 at that time the Lord spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loose the sackcloth from your waist and take off your sandals from your feet,” and he did so, walking ^cnaked and barefoot.

3 Then the Lord said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years ^das a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush, ^{▼▼Probably Nubia} 4 so shall the ^fking of Assyria lead away the Egyptian captives and the Cushite exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, the nakedness of Egypt.

Jeremiah 13:1-11

The Ruined Loincloth

1 Thus says the Lord to me, “Go and buy a linen loincloth and ^gput it around your waist, and do not dip it in water.” 2 So I bought a loincloth according to the word of the Lord, and put it around my waist. 3 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, 4 “Take the loincloth that you have bought, which is around your waist, and arise, ^hgo to the Euphrates and hide it there in ⁱa cleft of the rock.” 5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me. 6 And after many days the Lord said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there ^jthe loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.” 7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and I took ^kthe loincloth from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the loincloth was ^lspoiled; it was ^mgood for nothing.

8 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 9 “Thus says the Lord: ⁿEven so will I spoil the pride of Judah and the great ^opride of Jerusalem. 10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, ^pwho stubbornly follow their own heart and have gone after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be like this loincloth, which is ^qgood for nothing. 11 For as the loincloth clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me, declares the Lord, ^rthat they might be for me a people, ^sa name, a praise, and a glory, but they would not listen.

Jeremiah 18:2-10

2 “Arise, and go down to ^tthe potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words.” 3 So I went down to ^uthe potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel. 4 And the vessel he was making of clay was ^vspoiled in the potter’s hand, and ^whe reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 6 “O house of Israel, ^xcan I not do with you as this potter has done? declares the Lord. ^yBehold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. 7 If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will ^zpluck up and break down and destroy it, 8 and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, ^aaturns from its evil, ^abI will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it. 9 And if at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will ^acbuild and plant it, 10 and if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will relent of the good that I had intended to do to it.

Jeremiah 19:1-11

The Broken Flask

1 Thus says the Lord, “Go, buy ^ada potter’s earthenware ^aeflask, and take some of ^afthe elders of the people and some of ^agthe elders of the priests, 2 and go out ^ahto the Valley of the Son of Hinnom at the entry of the Potsherd Gate, and proclaim there the words that I tell you. 3 You shall say, ^ai‘Hear the word of the Lord, ^ajO kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing such disaster upon this place that ^akthe ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle. 4 ^alBecause the people have forsaken me and have profaned this place by making offerings in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have known; ^amand because they have filled this place with the blood of innocents, 5 ^anand have built the high places of Baal ^aoto burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, ^apwhich I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind— 6 therefore, ^aqbehold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when this place shall no more be called Topheth, or ^arthe Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 7 And in this place ^asI will make void the plans of Judah and Jerusalem, ^atand will cause their people to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. ^auI will give their dead bodies for food to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the earth. 8 And I will make this city ^ava horror, ^awa thing to be hissed at. Everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its wounds. 9 ^axAnd I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and their daughters, and everyone shall eat the flesh of his neighbor ^ayin the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies and those who seek their life afflict them.’

10 “Then ^azyou shall break ^bathe flask in the sight of the men who go with you, 11 and shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, ^bbas one breaks a potter’s vessel, ^bcso that it can never be mended. ^bdMen shall bury in Topheth because there will be no place else to bury.

Jeremiah 28:10
