10 Esta gente malvada se niega a escucharme. Tercamente siguen sus propios deseos y rinden culto a otros dioses. Por lo tanto, se volverán como este calzoncillo, ¡no servirán para nada!

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 recibí este mensaje del Señor
:

9 «Así dice el Señor
: esto muestra cómo pudriré el orgullo de Judá y Jerusalén.

10 Esta gente malvada se niega a escucharme. Tercamente siguen sus propios deseos y rinden culto a otros dioses. Por lo tanto, se volverán como este calzoncillo, ¡no servirán para nada!

11 Tal como el calzoncillo se adhiere a la cintura del hombre, así he creado a Judá y a Israel para que se aferren a mí, dice el Señor
. Iban a ser mi pueblo, mi orgullo, mi gloria: un honor para mi nombre, pero no quisieron escucharme.

12 »Así que diles: “Esto dice el Señor
, Dios de Israel: ‘Que todas sus jarras sean llenas de vino’”. Ellos te contestarán: “¡Por supuesto, las jarras se hacen para llenarlas de vino!”.
