Jeremiah 13:3 In-Context

1 Thus says the LORD to me, "Go and buy a linen loincloth and put it around your waist, and do not dip it in water."

2 So I bought a loincloth according to the word of the LORD, and put it around my waist.

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

4 "Take the loincloth that you have bought, which is around your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates and hide it there in a cleft of the rock."

5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
