Theological / Devotional

House of Israel. The symbolism of the prophecy is here explained. The loincloth represented both the house of Israel and the house of Judah.

For a people. God reminds His people of what would have been their lot had they proved loyal to Him and had they been obedient to His will (see Deut. 7:6 ; 26:18, 19; 28:1, 13; see pp. 25-38).
