Jeremiah 13:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ Thus saith the Lord: after this manner will I make the pride of Juda, and the great pride of Jerusalem to rot.

¹⁰ This wicked people, that will not hear my words, and that walk in the perverseness of their heart, and have gone after strange gods to serve them, and to adore them: and they shall be as this girdle which is fit for no use.

¹¹ For as the girdle sticketh close to the loins of a man, so have I brought close to me all of the house of Israel, and all the house of Juda, saith the Lord: that they might be my people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
