Jeremiah 13:8 stands within Jeremiah 12 to 24, a portion that gives warnings to the Jews. It belongs to the account of the girdle of Judah, which describes a real girdle of a fashion still worn in the Holy Land. Customs of dress in the Orient never change. That girdle, like the sandals of the Gibeonites, the mantle of Elijah, the turban of Daniel, the cloak of Paul, and the seamless robe of Jesus, may still be met any day in the streets of Jerusalem as witnesses to the remarkable accuracy of Scripture.
