Jeremiah 13:11-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 Just as underwear clings to one’s waist, so I fastened the whole house of Israel and of Judah to Me”(A)—this is the Lord’s declaration—“so that they might be My people for My fame, praise, and glory,(B) but they would not obey.
The Wine Jars
12 “Say this to them: This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Every jar should be filled with wine. Then they will respond to you, ‘Don’t we know that every jar should be filled with wine?’ 13 And you will say to them: This is what the Lord says: I am about to fill all who live in this land—the kings who reign for David on his throne, the priests, the prophets and all the residents of Jerusalem—with drunkenness.
