Contextual Overview

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. ⁶ Many days later the Lord said to me, "Now, Jeremiah, go to Perath. Get the loincloth that I told you to hide there." ⁷ So I went to Perath and dug the loincloth out of the crack in the rocks where I had hidden it. But now I could not wear the loincloth, because it was ruined. It was not good for anything. ⁸ Then the message from the Lord came to me. ⁹ This is what the Lord said: "The loincloth is ruined and not good for anything. In the same way, I will ruin the proud people of Judah and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ I will ruin them because they refuse to listen to my messages. They are stubborn and do only what they want to do. They follow and worship other gods. They will be like this linen loincloth. They will be ruined and not good for anything.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus saith the Lord, after this manner,.... As this girdle has been hid in Euphrates, and has been marred and rendered useless; so in like manner, and by such like means,

will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem; or their glory, or excellency t; that which they gloried in, and were proud of; their city which was burnt, and their temple which was destroyed by the Chaldeans; their king, princes, and nobles, who were carried captive into Babylon, by the river Euphrates, and stripped of all their grandeur, honour, and glory; and so the Targum,

"so will I corrupt the strength of the men of Judah, and the strength of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, which is much;''

and to which agrees the Syriac version, which renders it,

"the proud or haughty men of Judah, and the many haughty men of Jerusalem.''
