Jeremiah 13:2 In-Context

1 This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and buy a linen loincloth and put it on, but do not wash it.”

2 So I bought the loincloth as the LORD directed me, and I put it on.

3 Then the LORD gave me another message:

4 “Take the linen loincloth you are wearing, and go to the Euphrates River. Hide it there in a hole in the rocks.”

5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates as the LORD had instructed me.
