Jeremías 13:10 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 13:10

This evil people, which refuse to hear my words
Sent by the prophets, to whom they turned a deaf ear; and though they pressed them, and importunately desired them to give them a hearing, they refused it; and this showed them to be a bad people, very degenerate and wicked; and which further appears by what follows: which walk in the imagination of their heart;
which was evil, stubborn, and rebellious, see ( Jeremiah 7:24 ) ( 9:14 ) : and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them;
went to Egypt and Assyria to pay their adoration to those who were not by nature gods; and this was the cause of their ruin and destruction: shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing:
as they were corrupt in their practices, and were become useless and unserviceable to God; so they would be carried captive into a foreign country, where they would be inglorious, and unprofitable, uncomfortable in themselves, and of no use to one another.

Jeremías 13:10 In-Context

8 Entonces vino a mí la palabra del SEÑOR, diciendo:

9 Así dice el SEÑOR: "De la misma manera haré que se pudra la soberbia de Judá y la gran soberbia de Jerusalén.

10 "Este pueblo malvado, que rehúsa escuchar mis palabras, que anda en la terquedad de su corazón y se ha ido tras otros dioses a servirles y a postrarse ante ellos, ha de ser como este cinturón que no sirve para nada.

11 "Porque como el cinturón se adhiere a la cintura del hombre, así hice adherirse a mí a toda la casa de Israel y a toda la casa de Judá"declara el SEÑOR"a fin de que fueran para mí por pueblo, por renombre, por alabanza y por gloria, pero no escucharon."

12 También les dirás esta palabra: "Así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel: 'Todo cántaro se llenará de vino.'" Y cuando ellos te digan: "¿Acaso no sabemos bien que todo cántaro ha de llenarse de vino?",
