Jeremiah 13
1. By the type of a linen belt, hidden at Euphrates,
9. God prefigures the destruction of his people.

Listen
The Hebrew word for "listen" is "שְׁמַע" (shema), which carries a deeper meaning than merely hearing. It implies an active, attentive listening that leads to obedience. In the context of ancient Israel, "shema" was a call to not only hear but to internalize and act upon God's words. This call to listen is a recurring theme in the Bible, emphasizing the importance of being receptive to divine instruction.

and give heed
The phrase "give heed" translates from the Hebrew "הַאֲזִינוּ" (ha'azinu), which means to pay close attention or to consider carefully. This is a call to focus one's mind and heart on what is being communicated. In the historical context of Jeremiah, the people of Judah were often distracted by idolatry and worldly concerns, and this exhortation is a reminder to prioritize God's message above all else.

Do not be arrogant
The Hebrew word for "arrogant" is "גָּבַהּ" (gavah), which conveys a sense of pride or haughtiness. Arrogance in the biblical sense is often associated with a refusal to submit to God's authority. In Jeremiah's time, the leaders and people of Judah were guilty of this pride, believing they could rely on their own wisdom and strength rather than seeking God's guidance. This warning serves as a timeless reminder of the dangers of self-reliance and the importance of humility before God.

for the LORD has spoken
The phrase "the LORD has spoken" underscores the authority and finality of God's word. The Hebrew term for "LORD" is "יְהוָה" (YHWH), the sacred name of God, which signifies His eternal and unchanging nature. When the LORD speaks, it is not merely a suggestion but a command that demands a response. In the context of Jeremiah's prophetic ministry, this statement reinforces the seriousness of the message and the necessity of heeding God's voice.

(15) Be not proud.--With special reference to the besetting sin of Judah, as described in Jeremiah 13:9; perhaps also to the character of the symbols applied--the marred girdle and the broken jar--as being in themselves humiliating, and therefore a trial to their pride.

Verses 15-19. - An admonition to seize upon the only means of escape.
