1. This is what the Lord said to me: “Jeremiah, go and buy a linen loincloth. Then put it around your waist. Don’t let it get wet.”
2. So I bought a linen loincloth, just as the Lord told me to do, and I put it around my waist.
3. Then the message from the Lord came to me a second time.
4. This was the message: “Jeremiah, take the loincloth you bought and are wearing, and go to Perath. Hide the loincloth there in a crack in the rocks.”
5. So I went to Perath and hid the loincloth there, just as the Lord told me to do.
