For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
That they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory - (Jeremiah 33:9; Exodus 19:5, "If ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people").
Glory - an ornament to glory in.
