Jeremiah 13:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ So I went to Perath and dug up the belt and took it from where I had hidden it. But now it was ruined; it was good for nothing.

⁸ Then the Lord spoke his word to me. ⁹ This is what the Lord said: “In the same way I will ruin the pride of the people of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
