Jeremiah 13:10-11 This evil people that refuses to listen to my words, that stubbornly pursues their own desires, and that follows other gods to serve and worship them, will be like this belt that is not good for anything.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ This evil people that refuses to listen to my words, that stubbornly pursues their own desires, and that follows other gods to serve and worship them, will be like this belt that is not good for anything. ¹¹ For just as the belt clings tightly to a person’s waist, so I’ve made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah cling tightly to me,’ declares the LORD. ‘I did this so that they would be my people, name, praise, and glory. But they wouldn’t listen.’
