Lexham English Bible

Contextual Overview

¹ Thus Yahweh said to me: "Go and buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and put it on your loins, but you must not place it in water." ² So I bought the loincloth according to the word of Yahweh and I put it on my loins. ³ Now the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying, ⁴ "Take the loincloth that you bought, that is on your loins, and stand up, go to the Euphrates and hide it there in the cleft of the rock." ⁵ So I went and hid it by the Euphrates just as Yahweh had commanded me. ⁶ And then, after a long time, then Yahweh said to me, "Stand up, go to the Euphrates and take from there the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there." ⁷ Then I went to the Euphrates and I dug, and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it, and look, the loincloth was ruined; it was not good for anything. ⁸ And then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ⁹ "Thus says Yahweh: ‘So I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. ¹⁰ This evil people, who refuse to listen to my words, who go in the stubbornness of their hearts, and have gone after other gods, to serve them, and to bow in worship to them, let them be like this loincloth which is not good for anything.
