THE MESSAGE

Contextual Overview

1 The Lord told me, "Go and buy a pair of linen shorts. Wear them for a while, but don't wash them." 2 So I bought a pair of shorts and put them on. 3 Then the Lord said, 4 "Take off the shorts. Go to Parah and hide the shorts in a crack between some large rocks." 5 And that's what I did. 6 Some time later the Lord said, "Go back and get the shorts." 7 I went back and dug the shorts out of their hiding place, but the cloth had rotted, and the shorts were ruined. 8 Then the Lord said: 9 Jeremiah, I will use Babylonia to destroy the pride of the people of Judah and Jerusalem. 10 The people of Judah are evil and stubborn. So instead of listening to me, they do whatever they want and even worship other gods. When I am finished with these people, they will be good for nothing, just like this pair of shorts.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass after many days,.... When the girdle had lain long in the hole, by the side of Euphrates; this denotes the length of the Babylonish captivity, which was seventy years:

that the Lord said unto me, arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there; which may denote the return of these people from captivity, according to the prophecy of Jeremiah; see Jeremiah 25:11, though this seems to be visionally done, in order to express the wretched state and condition these people were in; either before the captivity, which was the cause of it; or at their return from it, when they were no better for it.
