Jeremias 13:8 In-Context

6 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.

7 So I went to the river Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle out of the place where I buried it: and, behold, it was rotten, utterly good for nothing.

8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord,

9 Thus will I mar the pride of Juda, and the pride of Jerusalem;

10 this great pride that will not hearken to my words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them: and they shall be as this girdle, which can be used for nothing.
