“Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.”
The linen belt parable: 'This is what the LORD said to me: "Go and buy a linen belt and put it around your waist. Do not let it touch water."' This verse introduces a prophetic action: Jeremiah is commanded to purchase a linen belt and wear it 'around your waist' without letting it 'touch water.' The symbolic action will communicate a message. Theologically, this verse begins a passage using symbolic action (a common prophetic technique) to convey judgment.
