“So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it on my loins.”
The obedience: 'So I bought a belt, as the LORD directed, and put it around my waist.' This verse indicates Jeremiah's obedience: he 'bought a belt' and 'put it around' his waist. The simple compliance sets up the dramatic reversal that will follow. Theologically, this verse emphasizes the prophet's willingness to perform even strange actions that symbolize God's word.
