Jeremiah 13:8 In-Context

6 Some time later the Lord told me to go back to the Euphrates and get the shorts.

7 So I went back, and when I found the place where I had hidden them, I saw that they were ruined and were no longer any good.

9 "This is how I will destroy the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.

10 These evil people have refused to obey me. They have been as stubborn and wicked as ever, and have worshiped and served other gods. So then, they will become like these shorts that are no longer any good.
