    2 So I bought the waistband as the LORD had instructed, and I put it around my waist.

    3 Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time, saying,

    4 "Take the waistband you bought and are wearing, arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock."

    5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, just as the LORD commanded me.

    6 After many days, the LORD said to me, "Arise, go to the Euphrates, and retrieve the waistband from the place where I hid it."

    7 So I went to the Euphrates, dug it out, and took the waistband from the place where I had hidden it. But behold, the waistband was ruined and no longer useful for anything.

    8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

    9 "This is what the LORD says: 'In this way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.

    10 These evil people, who refuse to listen to my words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts, and who follow other gods to serve and worship them, will become like this waistband—useless for anything.

    11 For as the waistband clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me,' declares the LORD, 'to be my people, my renown, my praise, and my glory. But they would not listen.'
