“This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.”
The consequence: 'Say to them: "This is what the LORD says: As these jars are broken, so I will break this nation and this city, and no one will be able to put them together again."' This verse presents a second image: jars will be broken, and God will similarly 'break this nation and this city,' with no possibility of restoration ('no one will be able to put them together again'). The irreversibility suggests finality. Theologically, this verse indicates that judgment will be complete and irreversible.
