Symbol of the Linen Sash
1 Thus the Lord said to me: “Go and get yourself a linen sash, and put it1 around your waist, but do not put it in water.”
2 So I got a1 sash according to the word of the Lord, and put it around my waist.
3 And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying,
4 “Take the1 sash that you acquired, which is2 around your waist, and arise, go to the3 Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole in the rock.”
5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
6 Now it came to pass after many days that the Lord said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the sash which I commanded you to hide there.”
7 Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the sash from the place where I had hidden it; and there was the sash, ruined. It was profitable for nothing.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 “Thus says the Lord: ‘In this manner aI will ruin the pride of Judah and the great bpride of Jerusalem.
