Jeremiah 13:1-6

Jeremiah’s symbolic acts

13 The Lord proclaimed to me: Go and buy a linen undergarment. Wear it for a while without washing it. ² So I bought a linen undergarment, as the Lord told me, and I put it on. ³ The Lord spoke to me again: ⁴ Take the undergarment that you are wearing and go at once to the Euphrates and put it under a rock. ⁵ So I went and buried it at the Euphrates, as the Lord instructed. ⁶ After a long time, the Lord said to me: Return to the Euphrates and dig up the undergarment that I commanded you to bury there.
