Jeremiah 13:1

SYMBOLICAL PROPHECY (Jeremiah 13:1-7). (Jer. 13:1-27)

put it upon thy loins, etc.—expressing the close intimacy wherewith Jehovah had joined Israel and Judah to Him (Jeremiah 13:11).

linen—implying it was the inner garment next the skin, not the outer one.

put it not in water—signifying the moral filth of His people, like the literal filth of a garment worn constantly next the skin, without being washed (Jeremiah 13:10). GROTIUS understands a garment not bleached, but left in its native roughness, just as Judah had no beauty, but was adopted by the sole grace of God (Ezekiel 16:4-6). "Neither wast thou washed in water," etc.
