Verse 10

This evil{H7451} people{H5971}, which refuse{H3987} to hear{H8085}{(H8800)} my words{H1697}, which walk{H1980}{(H8802)} in the imagination{H8307} of their heart{H3820}, and walk{H3212}{(H8799)} after{H310} other{H312} gods{H430}, to serve{H5647}{(H8800)} them, and to worship{H7812}{(H8692)} them, shall even be as this girdle{H232}, which is good{H6743}{(H8799)} for nothing.
