"“Thus says the Lord: In the same way, I will cause the arrogance of Judah and the arrogance of Jerusalem to rot. "
— Jeremiah 13:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.”
“Thus saith Jehovah, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. ”
“Thus says Yahweh, In this way I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.”
““I, the LORD, say:‘This shows how I will ruin the highly exalted position in which Judah and Jerusalem take pride.”
“Thus saith the Lord: After this manner will I make the pride of Juda, and the great pride of Jerusalem to rot.”
“The Lord has said, In this way I will do damage to the pride of Judah and to the great pride of Jerusalem.”
“Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.”
And it happened that, after many days, the Lord said to me: “Rise up, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the waistcloth, which I instructed you to hide there.”
And so I went to the Euphrates, and I dug up and took the waistcloth from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the waistcloth had rotted, so that it was not fit for any use.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
“Thus says the Lord: In the same way, I will cause the arrogance of Judah and the arrogance of Jerusalem to rot.
This most wicked people, they are not willing to listen to my words, for they walk in the depravity of their own heart, and they have gone after strange gods, so as to serve them and to adore them. And so, they will become like this waistcloth, which is not fit for any use.
For just as the waistcloth clings to the loins of a man, so have I brought close to me the entire house of Israel and the entire house of Judah, says the Lord, so that they would be to me: a people, and a name, and a praise, and a glory. But they did not listen.
Therefore, you shall speak to them this word: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Every bottle will be filled with wine.’ And they will say to you: ‘Are we ignorant that every bottle will be filled with wine?’
