Jeremiah 13:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁷ Then I went to the Euphrates,^[a] and dug, and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it. But now the loincloth was ruined; it was good for nothing.

⁸ Then the word of the Lord came to me: ⁹ Thus says the Lord: Just so I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
