Jeremiah 13:8 In-Context

6 Many days later the LORD spoke to me again. He told me, "Go to Perath. Get the belt I told you to hide there."

7 So I went to Perath. I dug up the belt. I took it from the place where I had hidden it. But it had rotted. It was completely useless.

8 Then another message came to me from the Lord. He said,

9 "In the same way, I will destroy Judah's pride. And I will destroy the great pride of Jerusalem.
