The verse 1 is found in chapter 13 of Jeremiah. The linen belt hidden by the Euphrates functions as a symbolic action. Just as the belt was meant to cling to the waist, God intended Judah and Israel to remain closely attached to him; however, pride made them useless. The symbol visually explains the relationship between election, closeness, and loss of purpose through disobedience.

So spricht der HERR zu mir: Gehe hin und kaufe dir einen leinenen Gürtel und gürte damit deine Lenden und mache ihn nicht naß.
Así me dijo Jehová: Ve, y cómprate un cinto de lino, y cíñelo sobre tus lomos, y no lo meterás en agua.
Así me dijo Jehová: «Ve y cómprate un cinturón de lino, póntelo en la cintura y no lo metas en agua».
Ainsi m'a parlé l'Eternel: Va, achète-toi une ceinture de lin, et mets-la sur tes reins; mais ne la trempe pas dans l'eau.
COSÌ mi ha detto il Signore: Va’, e comperati una cintura lina, e mettitela in su i lombi, e non metterla nell’acqua.
ASSIM me disse o SENHOR: Vai, e compra um cinto de linho e põe-no sobre os teus lombos, mas não o coloques na água.
耶和華對我如此說:「你去買一條麻布帶子,束在你腰上,不可把它泡在水裏。」
