Jeremiah 13:1-7

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

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

3Then 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.”

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

6A long time afterward the Lord said to me, “Go back to the Euphrates and get the loincloth I told you to hide there.”

7So I went to the Euphrates and dug it out of the hole where I had hidden it. But now it was rotting and falling apart. The loincloth was good for nothing.
