Jeremiah 13 — Context

So I went and put it in a secret place by Parah, as the Lord had said to me.

Then after a long time, the Lord said to me, Up! go to Parah and get the band which I gave you orders to put there.

So I went to Parah and, uncovering the hole, took the band from the place where I had put it away: and the band was damaged and of no use for anything.

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

The Lord has said, In this way I will do damage to the pride of Judah and to the great pride of Jerusalem.

These evil people who say they will not give ear to my words, who go on in the pride of their hearts and have become servants and worshippers of other gods, will become like this band which is of no use for anything.

For as a band goes tightly round a man's body, so I made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah tightly united to me; so that they might be a people for me and a name and a praise and a glory: but they would not give ear.
