1. Thus saith the Lord to me: Go, and get thee a linen girdle, and thou shalt put it about thy loins, and shalt not put it into water.
2. And I got a girdle accoding to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.
3. And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying:
4. Take the girdle which thou hast got, which is about thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
5. And I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord had commanded me.
6. And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me: Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.
