1. Thus says the LORD unto me,
2. So I bought a belt according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my waist.
3. And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,
4. Take the belt that you have bought, which is upon your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole in the rock.
5. So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
6. And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me,
7. Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the belt was ruined, it was profitable for nothing.
