THE MESSAGE
God explained, "This is the way I am going to ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem—a wicked bunch of people who won't obey me, who do only what they want to do, who chase after all kinds of no-gods and worship them. They're going to turn out as rotten as these old shorts. Just as shorts clothe and protect, so I kept the whole family of Israel under my care"— God 's Decree—"so that everyone could see they were my people, a people I could show off to the world and be proud of. But they refused to do a thing I said.

Contextual Overview

1Thus the LORD said to me, "Go and buy yourself a linen waistband and put it on your loins, but do not put it in water." 2So I bought the waistband according to the word of the LORD and put it on my loins. 3Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time, saying, 4"Get up and take the waistband that you have bought, which is [wrapped] around your loins, and go to the [river] Euphrates and hide it there in a crevice of the rock." 5So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD had commanded me. 6And after many days the LORD said to me, "Get up, go to the Euphrates and get the waistband which I commanded you to hide there." 7Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the waistband from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the waistband was decayed and ruined; it was completely worthless. 8Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,9"Thus says the LORD, 'In this same way I shall destroy the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10'These wicked and malevolent people, who refuse to listen to My words, who walk in the stubborn way of their heart and have followed other gods [which are nothing—just man-made carvings] to serve them and to worship them, let them be just like this waistband which is completely worthless.
