Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 13:10

"This evil people, that refuse to hear my words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing." — Jeremiah 13:10 (ASV)

Imagination. —Better, as before, stubbornness.

Shall even be as this girdle. —The same thought is reproduced in the imagery of the potter’s vessel in Jeremiah 18:4. On the other hand, there is a partial reversal of the sentence in Jeremiah 24:5, where the “good figs” represent the exiles who learned repentance from their sufferings, and the “bad” those who still remained at Jerusalem under Zedekiah.

Which is good for nothing. —Better, profitable for nothing, the Hebrew text being the same as in Jeremiah 13:7.
