Jeremiah 13:1–7

LINEN UNDERWEAR

13 This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and buy yourself a linen undergarmentd and put it on.B But do not put it in water.” 2 So I bought underwear as the Lord instructed me and put it on.

3 Then the word of the Lord came to me a second time: 4 “Take the underwear that you bought and are wearing,A and go at once to the EuphratesB and hide it in a rocky crevice.”e 5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.

6 A long time later the Lord said to me, “Go at once to the Euphrates and get the underwear that I commanded you to hide there.” 7 So I went to the Euphrates and dug up the underwear and got it from the place where I had hidden it, but it was ruined—of no use at all.
