Significance: Both passages use the distinctive triad of "praise, renown/name, and glory/honor" (תְּהִלָּה, שֵׁם, תִּפְאֶרֶת — tehillah, shem, tif'eret) to describe God's purpose for Israel. Deuteronomy 26:19 promises that God will set Israel "high in praise and name and honor above all the nations," while Jeremiah 13:11 declares that God made Israel cling to Him "so that they might be My people for My renown and praise and glory." The near-identical vocabulary shows Jeremiah deliberately echoing the Deuteronomic covenant promise. The tragic twist in Jeremiah is the concluding judgment: "but they did not listen" — the loincloth that was meant to cling to God became ruined and useless, an enacted parable of Israel's failure to fulfill its Deuteronomic calling.
