Jeremias 13:2 In-Context

1 Thus saith the Lord, Go and procure for thyself a linen girdle, and put it about thy loins, and let it not be put in water.

2 So I procured the girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.

3 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

4 Take the girdle that is upon thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

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