Jeremiah 13:4-7

International Standard Version

⁴ Take the belt that you bought and that is around your waist. Get up and go to the Euphrates,^[a] and hide it there in a crevice in the rock.” ⁵ So I went and hid it at the Euphrates,^[b] just as the Lord had commanded me.

⁶ After a long time,^[c] the Lord told me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates,^[d] and get the belt that I commanded you to hide there.” ⁷ I went to the Euphrates and dug it up. I got the belt from the place where I had hidden it. The belt was ruined! It was not good for anything.
