Jeremiah 13:9-11

9Thus saith Jehovah: After this manner will I spoil the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

10This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and go after other 1gods, to serve them and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle which is good for nothing.

11For as a girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
