Contextual Overview

1 Thus saith the Lord vnto me; Goe and get thee a linen girdle, and put it vpon thy loynes, and put it not in water. 2 So I got a girdle, according to the word of the Lord, and put it on my loines. 3 And the word of the Lord came vnto me the second time, saying; 4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is vpon thy loines, and arise, goe to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rocke. 5 So I went and hid it by Euphrates, as the Lord commaunded mee. 6 And it came to passe after many daies, that the Lord saide vnto me; Arise, goe to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commaunded thee to hide there. 7 Then I went to Euphrates and digged, and tooke the girdle from the place where I had hid it, and behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing. 8 Then the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying; 9 Thus saith the Lord; After this maner will I marre the pride of Iudah, and the great pride of Ierusalem. 10 This euill people which refuse to heare my words, which walke in the imagination of their heart, and walke after other Gods to serue them and to worship them, shall euen be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
