Jeremiah 13

YHWH commands Jeremiah to purchase a linen belt, wear it, then bury it by the Euphrates River; after many days, Jeremiah retrieves it to find it ruined and worthless, symbolizing how YHWH will destroy the pride of Judah and Jerusalem due to their idolatry and disobedience.[1][2] The chapter continues with YHWH's warnings that the people will be filled with drunkenness and destruction, with families turned against one another, unless they humble themselves and repent.[1][4]
