Jeremiah 13:2 In-Context

1 Thus Yahweh said to me: "Go and buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and put it on your loins, but you must not {place} it in water."

2 So I bought the loincloth according to the word of Yahweh and I put [it] on my loins.

3 Now the word of Yahweh came to me a second [time], {saying},

4 "Take the loincloth that you bought, that [is] on your loins, and stand up, go [to the] Euphrates and hide it there in the cleft of the rock."

5 So I went and hid it by [the] Euphrates just as Yahweh had commanded me.
