Jeremiah 13:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Symbol of the Wine-Jars

¹² You shall speak to them this word: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Every wine-jar should be filled with wine. And they will say to you, ‘Do you think we do not know that every wine-jar should be filled with wine?’ ¹³ Then you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: I am about to fill all the inhabitants of this land—the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem—with drunkenness. ¹⁴ And I will dash them one against another, parents and children together, says the Lord. I will not pity or spare or have compassion when I destroy them.
