Contextual Overview
1This is what the LORD said to me: "Go and buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it around your waist, but do not let it touch water." 2So I bought a loincloth as the LORD instructed me, and I put it around my waist. 3Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time: 4"Take the loincloth that you bought and are wearing, and go at once to Perath and hide it there in a crevice of the rocks."5So I went and hid it at Perath, as the LORD had commanded me. 6Many days later the LORD said to me, "Arise, go to Perath and get the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there." 7So I went to Perath and dug up the loincloth, and I took it from the place where I had hidden it. But now it was ruined-of no use at all. 8Then the word of the LORD came to me: 9"This is what the LORD says: In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10These evil people, who refuse to listen to My words, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who go after other gods to serve and worship them, they will be like this loincloth-of no use at all.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take the girdle which thou hast got, which is upon thy loins,.... Either he is bid to take it off his loins, on which it was; or to go with it on them; seeing the taking it off does not seem absolutely necessary; and go with it to the place directed to in the following words:
and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock; by the river side, where the waters, coming and going, would reach and wet it, and it drying again, would rot the sooner. This signifies the carrying of the Jews captive to Babylon, by which city the river Euphrates ran, and the obscure state and condition they would be in there; and where all their pride and glory would be marred, as afterwards declared.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In a hole of the rock - âIn a cleft of the rock.â As there are no fissured rocks in Babylonia, the place where Jeremiah hid the girdle must have been somewhere in the upper part of the river.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 13:4. Go to Euphrates, and hide it there — Intending to point out, by this distant place, the country into which they were to be carried away captive.
