Parallel JER 13:11

NET For,’ I say, ‘just as shorts cling tightly to a person’s body, so I bound the whole nation of Israel and the whole nation of Judah tightly to me.’ I intended for them to be my special people and to bring me fame, honor, and praise. But they would not obey me.

LSV For as the girdle cleaves to the loins of a man,

The whole house of Israel,
And the whole house of Judah,”

“To be to Me for a people, and for a name,
And for praise, and for beauty,
And they have not listened.
