10 Este pueblo malvado, que se niega a obedecerme, que sigue la terquedad de su corazón y va tras otros dioses para servirlos y adorarlos, será como este cinturón, que no sirve 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.

10 Este pueblo malvado, que se niega a obedecerme, que sigue la terquedad de su corazón y va tras otros dioses para servirlos y adorarlos, será como este cinturón, que no sirve para nada.

11 Porque así como el cinturón se ajusta a la cintura del hombre, así procuré que todo el pueblo de Israel y toda la tribu de Judá se ajustaran a mí —afirma el SEÑOR— para que fueran mi pueblo y mi renombre, mi honor y mi gloria. ¡Pero no obedecieron!”

12 »Diles también lo siguiente: “Así dice el SEÑOR, el Dios de Israel: ‘Todo cántaro se llenará de vino’. Y si ellos te dicen: ‘¿Acaso no sabemos bien que todo cántaro se debe llenar de vino?’,
