Jeremiah 13:2 In-Context

1 This is what the LORD said to me: "Buy a linen belt. Put it around your waist. Don't let it get wet."

2 So I bought the belt, as the LORD had told me, and put it around my waist.

3 The LORD spoke his word to me again. He said,

4 "Take the belt that you bought, the one you're wearing. Go to the Euphrates River, and bury it there in a crack in the rocks."

5 So I went and buried it by the Euphrates, as the LORD had told me.
