Jeremiah 13:3-9
3
And the word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying,
4
Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.
5
So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Jehovah commanded me.
6
And it came to pass after many days, that Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
7
Then I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
8
Then the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
9
Thus saith Jehovah, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
