"Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number." — Jeremiah 2:32 (ASV)
A bride treasures all her life the girdle, which first indicated that she was a married woman, just as brides now treasure the wedding ring; but Israel, Yahweh’s bride (Jeremiah 2:2), cherishes no fond memorials of past affection.
