Jeremiah 13:1-7

1This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and 1buy yourself a linen undergarment and put it around your waist, but do not put it in water.” 2So I bought the undergarment in accordance with the 2word of the Lord, and put it around my waist. 3Then the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, 4“Take the undergarment that you bought, which is around your waist, and arise, go to the 3Euphrates and hide it there in a crevice of the rock.” 5So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, 4as the Lord had commanded me. 6After many days the Lord said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates and take from there the undergarment which I commanded you to hide there.” 7Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the undergarment from the place where I had hidden it; and behold, the undergarment was ruined, it was completely useless.
