Verse 11

For as the girdle{H232} cleaveth{H1692}{(H8799)} to the loins{H4975} of a man{H376}, so have I caused to cleave{H1692}{(H8689)} unto me the whole house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} and the whole house{H1004} of Judah{H3063}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}; that they might be unto me for a people{H5971}, and for a name{H8034}, and for a praise{H8416}, and for a glory{H8597}: but they would not hear{H8085}{(H8804)}.
