The Ruined Loincloth

1 Thus says the LORD to me, "Go and buy a linen loincloth and ¹put it around your waist, and do not dip it in water."

2 So I bought a loincloth according to the word of the LORD, and put it around my waist.

3 And the word of the LORD came to me a second time,

4 "Take the loincloth that you have bought, which is around your waist, and arise, ²go to the Euphrates and hide it there in ³a cleft of the rock."

5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

6 And after many days the LORD said to me, "Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there ⁴the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there."

7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and I took ⁵the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the loincloth was ⁶spoiled; it was ⁷good for nothing.

8 Then the word of the LORD came to me:

9 "Thus says the LORD: ⁸Even so will I spoil the pride of Judah and the great ⁹pride of Jerusalem.

10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, ¹⁰who stubbornly follow their own heart and have gone after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be like this loincloth, which is ¹¹good for nothing.

11 For as the loincloth clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me, declares the LORD, ¹²that they might be for me a people, ¹³a name, a praise, and a glory, but they would not listen.
