Jeremiah 13:2 In-Context

1 This is what the Lord said to me: "Go and buy a linen belt and put it around your waist. Don't let the belt get wet."

2 So I bought a linen belt, just as the Lord told me, and put it around my waist.

3 Then the Lord spoke his word to me a second time:

4 "Take the belt you bought and are wearing, and go to Perath. Hide the belt there in a crack in the rocks."

5 So I went to Perath and hid the belt there, just as the Lord told me.
