Jeremiah 13

Proud, disobedient and rebellious Judah is likened to bad underwear which is good for nothing and must be discarded. The loincloth episode showed Jeremiah what the LORD felt about his people in a sad time.  When will we – who call ourselves by the LORD’s name – understand that our situation is similar?  We boast of a relationship with the LORD while at the same time we have trusted in lies (25).  It has made us about as useful as bad underwear.

LORD, cleans us, sanctify us for your use again.
