Jeremías 13:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 13:11

For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man
Being girt tight unto him: so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel, and the
whole house of Judah;
whom he chose above all people, and caused to approach unto him, and dwell in his courts; whom he favoured with his presence, and encouraged them to follow after him, and cleave to him in faith and affection, and with full purpose of heart; so that they were a people near unto him as a man's girdle is to his loins: and the end of this was, and would have been, had they continued so, that they might be unto me for a people;
his own people, a special and peculiar people above all others, peculiarly favoured and blessed by him, and continue so, and in the enjoyment of all good things: and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory;
for a famous and renowned people, that should be to the praise and glory of God, and an honour to him, and an ornament to the profession of him; whereas they were the reverse: but they would not hear;
the words of the Lord, nor obey his voice; but served other gods, departed from the Lord, to whom they should have cleaved, and so became like this rotten girdle.

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?",
13 entonces les dirás: "Así dice el SEÑOR: 'He aquí, voy a llenar de embriaguez a todos los habitantes de esta tierra: a los reyes sucesores de David que se sientan sobre su trono, a los sacerdotes, a los profetas y a todos los habitantes de Jerusalén;
