Jeremiah

Warnings about Jerusalem's destruction due to unfaithfulness, with promises of a new covenant.

Chapter 13

KJV - Jeremiah 13:11

For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

Just like a belt stays close to someone's waist, I have closely connected with all of Israel and Judah, says the Lord. I wanted them to be my people, known by me, praised, and glorious. But they refused to listen.
