Jeremiah 13:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ The Lord proclaims: In the same way I will ruin the brazen pride of Judah and Jerusalem! ¹⁰ Instead of listening to me, this wicked people follow their own willful hearts and pursue other gods, worshipping and serving them. They will become like this linen garment—good for nothing! ¹¹ Just as a linen undergarment clings to the body, so I created the people of Israel and Judah to cling to me, declares the Lord, to be my people for my honor, praise, and grandeur. But they wouldn’t obey.
