Jeremiah 13:2 In-Context

1 This is what the Lord said to me: Go and get yourself a linen band and put it round you and do not put it in water.

2 So, as the Lord said, I got a band for a price and put it round my body.

3 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying,

4 Take the band which you got for a price, which is round your body, and go to Parah and put it in a secret place there in a hole of the rock.

5 So I went and put it in a secret place by Parah, as the Lord had said to me.
