1 This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and buy a linen belt. Then put it around your waist. Don’t let the belt get wet.”
2 So I bought a linen belt, just as the Lord told me. And I put it around my waist.
3 Then the Lord spoke his word to me a second time:
4 “Take the belt you bought and are wearing. Go to Perath. Hide the belt there in a crack in the rocks.”
5 So I went to Perath and hid the belt there, just as the Lord told me.
