4. “Take the underwear that you bought and are wearing, and go at once to the Euphrates and hide it in a rocky crevice.”
5. So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
6. A long time later the Lord said to me, “Go at once to the Euphrates and get the underwear that I commanded you to hide there.”
7. So I went to the Euphrates and dug up the underwear and got it from the place where I had hidden it, but it was ruined — of no use at all.
8. Then the word of the Lord came to me:
9. “This is what the Lord says: Just like this I will ruin the great pride of both Judah and Jerusalem.
10. These evil people, who refuse to listen to Me, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who have followed other gods to serve and worship — they will be like this underwear, of no use at all.
