Jeremiah 13:7-9

American Standard Version

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.
