Jeremiah 13:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ So I went, and hid it by the Euphra′tes, as the Lord commanded me. ⁶ And after many days the Lord said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphra′tes, and take from there the waistcloth which I commanded you to hide there.” ⁷ Then I went to the Euphra′tes, and dug, and I took the waistcloth from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the waistcloth was spoiled; it was good for nothing.
