Jeremiah 13:9-11

Legacy Standard Bible

⁹ “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Just so will I ruin the ^(A)pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. ¹⁰ This evil people, who ^(B)refuse to listen to My words, who ^(C)walk in the stubbornness of their hearts and have walked after other gods to serve them and to worship them, let them be just like this belt which is totally worthless. ¹¹ For as the belt clings to the loins of a man, so I made the whole household of Israel and the whole household of Judah ^(D)cling to Me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘that they might be for Me a people, for a ^(E)name, for ^(F)praise, and for beauty; but they ^(G)did not listen.’
