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.
7. So I went to the Euphrates and I dug up the linen undergarment from the place I had buried it. But it was ruined and good for nothing.
8. Then the Lord’s word came to me:
9. The Lord proclaims: In the same way I will ruin the brazen pride of Judah and Jerusalem!
10. Instead of listening to me, this wicked people follow their own willful hearts and pursue other gods, worshipping and serving them. They will become like this linen garment—good for nothing!
