13 But you kept doing all these things,’ declares Jehovah, ‘and even though I spoke to you again and again,* you did not listen.+ I kept calling you, but you would not answer.+

10 These evil people who refuse to obey my words,+ who stubbornly follow their own heart,+ and who are following other gods, serving and bowing down to them, will become just like this belt that is completely useless.’
