“Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.”
The interpretation begins: 'Then the word of the LORD came to me: "This is what the LORD says: In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem."' This verse presents the interpretation: just as the belt was ruined, so God 'will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.' The parallel between the belt's ruin and Judah's ruin is the parable's lesson. Theologically, this verse indicates that pride will be destroyed through judgment.
