Jeremiah 13:9-11

9“Thus says the Lord, ‘Just so will I destroy the 1pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10This wicked people, who 2refuse to listen to My words, who 3walk in the stubbornness of their hearts and have gone after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, let them be just like this waistband which is totally worthless. 11For as the waistband clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole household of Israel and the whole household of Judah 4cling to Me,’ declares the Lord, ‘that they might be for Me a people, for 56renown, for 7praise and for glory; but they 8did not listen.’
