Contextual Overview

1 Thus, said Yahweh unto me, - Go and buy for thyself a linen girdle, and put upon thy loins, - but in water, shalt thou not place it. 2 So I bought a girdle according to the word of Yahweh, - and put upon my loins. 3 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me second time saying: 4 Take the girdle which thou hast bought which is upon thy loins, - and arise go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the cliff. 5 So I went, and hid it, by the Euphrates, as Yahweh had commanded me. 6 And it came to pass, at the end of many days, - that Yahweh said unto me, - Arise go to the Euphrates, and take from thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there. 7 So I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle out of the place where I had hidden it, - and lo! the girdle was spoiled, it was good for nothing, s 8 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying: 9 Thus, saith Yahweh, - After this manner, will I spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10 This wicked people who are refusing to hear my words, who are walking in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods, to serve them and to bow down to them, yea let them be like this girdle, which is good for nothing.

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.''

t גאון "excellentiam", Calvin, Piscator.
