For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah; that they may be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
For as a breigirdil cleueth to þe leendis of a man, so Y ioynede faste to me al þe hous of Israel, and al þe hous of Juda, seith þe Lord, þat þei schulden be to me in to a puple, and in to name, and in to heriyng, and in to glorie; and þei herden not.
