Jeremiah 13:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 13:2

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.
