The waiting: 'Many days later the LORD said to me, "Go now to Perath and get the belt I told you to hide there."' This verse indicates a passage of time ('Many days later') before God commands Jeremiah to retrieve the belt. The delay suggests that the belt has been buried for an extended period. Theologically, this verse builds anticipation for the revelation of the parable's meaning.
