1 Thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go and buy thee a linen girdle and put it upon thy loins, and thou shalt not put it in water.
2 And I bought the girdle according to the word of the Lord and put it on my loins.
3 And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying,
4 Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise; go to the Euphrates and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
5 So I went and hid it in the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
6 And it came to pass after many days that the Lord said unto me, Arise; go to the Euphrates and take from there the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.
