Jeremiah 13:12

"For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to me,’ says the LORD; ‘that they may be to me for a people, for a name, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.’"

Key Reflection

This verse uses the imagery of a belt紧紧缠绕在人的腰间来比喻以色列和犹大与神的关系。神通过这一关系使他们成为他的子民、名号、赞美和荣耀，但遗憾的是，他们并未听从神的旨意。

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes
