Jeremiah 13:1
Verse 1 of 27. The 13th of 52 chapters in Jeremiah, in The Major Prophets.
1Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.
2So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it on my loins.
3And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying,
4Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
5So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.

Matthew Henry on Jeremiah 13:1
He was to wear a linen girdle for some time, v. 1, 2. Some think he wore it under his clothes, because it was linen, and it is said to cleave to his loins, v. 11. It should rather seem to be worn upon his clothes, for it was worn for a name and a praise, and probably was a fine sash, such as officers wear and such as are commonly worn at this day in the eastern nations.
Read Matthew Henry on Jeremiah 13:1–11: The Marred Girdle. (b. c. 606.)
