Jeremiah 13:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle out of the place where I had hid it: and behold the girdle was rotten, so that it was fit for no use.

⁸ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

⁹ Thus saith the Lord: after this manner will I make the pride of Juda, and the great pride of Jerusalem to rot.
