1. the Lord said to me, “Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and don’t put it in water.”
2. So I bought a belt according to the Lord’s word, and put it on my waist.
3. the Lord’s word came to me the second time, saying,
4. “Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.”
