5:3 Lord, I know you look for faithfulness.
But even when you punish these people, they feel no remorse.
Even when you nearly destroy them, they refuse to be corrected.
They have become as hardheaded as a rock.

who have eyes but do not discern,
who have ears but do not perceive:
31:12 I am forgotten, like a dead man no one thinks about;
I am regarded as worthless, like a broken jar.
8:8 Israel will be swallowed up among the nations;
they will be like a worthless piece of pottery.
13:15 Even though he flourishes like a reed plant,
a scorching east wind will come,
a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert.
As a result, his spring will dry up;
his well will become dry.
That wind
in the containers in his storehouse.
