Jeremiah 13:1 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Go, and get thee a linen girdle— The prophet here begins a new discourse. He himself gives us an explanation of the meaning of the symbolical action here related. See the note on ch. Jeremiah 1:11. He is commanded not to put the girdle into water, to clean it, in order to signify that the people of Israel had contracted such spots by their idolatry, as would not be washed away.

Jeremiah 13:1

1 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.
