Jeremiah 13:3 In-Context

1 This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it around your waist, but do not let it touch water.”

2 So I bought a loincloth in accordance with the word of the LORD, and I put it around my waist.

3 Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time:

4 “Take the loincloth that you bought and are wearing, and go at once to Perath and hide it there in a crevice of the rocks.”

5 So I went and hid it at Perath, as the LORD had commanded me.
