• 13:10This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart and go after other gods to serve them and to worship them, will be even like this girdle, which is good for nothing. Compare
• 13:11For as this girdle clings to the loins of a man, so I have caused all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah to cling to Me, declares Jehovah, that they might be to Me a people and a name and a praise and a glory; but they would not listen. Compare
• 13:12And you shall speak to them this word, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Every wineskin will be filled with wine. And they will say to you, Do we not know very well that every wineskin will be filled with wine? Compare

• 13:15Hear and give ear and do not be proud, / For Jehovah has spoken. Compare
• 13:16Give glory to Jehovah your God, / Before He brings darkness, / And before your feet stumble on the twilight mountains; / And you will look for light, / But He will turn it into a shadow of death / And make it deep darkness. Compare
• 13:17And if you will not hear it, / My soul will weep in secret places for your pride; / And my eye will weep bitterly and shed tears, / Because the flock of Jehovah has been taken captive. Compare

• 13:24Therefore I will scatter them like chaff driven / By the wind of the wilderness. Compare
• 13:25This is your lot, / The portion measured out to you from Me, / Declares Jehovah, / Because you have forgotten Me / And have trusted in falsehood. Compare
• 13:26I will also strip your skirts off over your head, / And your shame will be seen. Compare
• 13:27Your adulteries and your neighings, / The lewdness of your fornication / Upon the hills, in the field, / Your detestable things - I have seen. / Woe to you, O Jerusalem! / How long a time will you still not be clean? Compare
