Jeremiah 13:2 In-Context

1 Thus said the LORD to me, "Go and buy a linen waistcloth, and put it on your loins, and do not dip it in water."

2 So I bought a waistcloth according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.

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

4 "Take the waistcloth which you have bought, which is upon your loins, and arise, go to the Euphra'tes, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock."

5 So I went, and hid it by the Euphra'tes, as the LORD commanded me.
