Jeremiah 13:4-9

4“Take the belt you bought and are wearing around your waist, and go now to Perath and hide it there in a crevice in the rocks.”

5So I went and hid it at Perath, as the Lord told me.

6Many days later the Lord said to me, “Go now to Perath and get the belt I told you to hide there.”

7So I went to Perath and dug up the belt and took it from the place where I had hidden it, but now it was ruined and completely useless.

8Then the word of the Lord came to me:

9“This is what the Lord says: ‘In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
