*
Thus sayth the Lorde vnto mee ,
Goe ,
and buy thee a linen girdle , &
amp ;
put it vpon thy loynes ,
and put it not in water .
*
So I bought the girdle according to the commandement of the Lord ,
and put it vpon my loynes .
*
And the worde of the Lorde came vnto me the second time ,
saying ,
*
Take the sash that thou hast bought ,
which [
is ]
upon thy loins ,
and arise ,
go to (

Because this river was far from Jerusalem ,
it is evident that this was a vision ,
by which it was signified that the Jews would pass over the Euphrates to be captives in Babylon ,
and there for length of time would seem to be rotten ,
although they were joined to the Lord before as a girdle about a man .(:

Euphrates ,
and hide it there in a cleft of the rock .
*
So I went ,
and hid it by Perath ,
as the Lord had commanded me .
*
And after many dayes ,
the Lorde sayde vnto mee ,
Arise ,
goe towarde Perath ,
and take the girdle from thence ,
which I commaunded thee to hide there .
*
Then went I to Perath ,
and digged , &
amp ;
tooke the girdle from the place where I had hid it ,
and behold ,
the girdle was corrupt ,
and was profitable for nothing .
*
Then the word of the Lord came vnto me ,
saying ,
*
Thus sayth the Lord ,
After this maner will I destroy the pride of Iudah ,
and the great pride of Ierusalem .
*
This wicked people haue refused to heare my word ,
and walke after ye stubbernesse of their owne heart ,
and walke after other gods to serue them ,
and to worship them :
therefore they shalbe as this girdle ,
which is profitable to nothing .
*
For as the girdle cleaueth to the loynes of a man ,
so haue I tied to me the whole house of Israel ,
and the whole house of Iudah ,
saith the Lorde ,
that they might bee my people :
that they might haue a name and prayse ,
and glory ,
but they would not heare .
