Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 13:1
A linen girdle - The appointed dress of the priestly order (Leviticus 16:4, ...).Put it not in water - i. e., do not wash it, and so let it represent the deep-grained pollution of the people. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 13:1-2
Jeremiah 13:1-2. Thus saith the Lord unto me The prophet here begins a new discourse. Go and get thee a girdle, &c. “God explains, at Jeremiah 13:11, what was meant by the symbol of the girdle, or sash, worn about the loins, namely, his people Israel, whom he redeemed of old, and attached to himself by a special covenant; that as a girdle served for an ornament to the wearer, so they should be subservient to the honour and glory of his name. But it is added, They would not hear, or... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-27
A nation useless and disgraced (13:1-27)In an effort to emphasize God’s warnings to Judah more forcefully, Jeremiah gave them an illustration that they could all see. He took a piece of clean new cloth, put it around his waist, then walked to a distant river where he buried the cloth in the river bank. Some time later he returned to the river and brought back the cloth for all to see. It was now rotten and useless (13:1-7). The meaning is that Judah, the nation that was supposed to be morally... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 13:1
JEREMIAH 13FIVE WARNINGS FOR ISRAELThere are five warnings given to Israel in this chapter. The nation of the Chosen people, which should have been living in a happy and intimate relationship with the Creator, and also should have been busily engaged in teaching the benighted nations of mankind the wonderful facts regarding the true and Almighty God, had, contrary to all reason, itself succumbed to the sensual allurements of paganism. Their spiritual discernment had almost disappeared; and the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 13:1
Jeremiah 13:1. 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. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 13:1
1. put it upon thy loins, &c.—expressing the close intimacy wherewith Jehovah had joined Israel and Judah to Him ( :-). linen—implying it was the inner garment next the skin, not the outer one. put it not in water—signifying the moral filth of His people, like the literal filth of a garment worn constantly next the skin, without being washed (Jeremiah 13:10). GROTIUS understands a garment not bleached, but left in its native roughness, just as Judah had no beauty, but was adopted by the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-12
The ruined girdle; or, it may be too late to mend. The much-needed lesson of this section was taught by means of one of those acted parables of which we have so many instances both in the Old Testament and in the New: e.g. Zedekiah's horns of iron ( 1 Kings 22:11 ); the strange marriages of Isaiah 8:1 , Hosea 1:2 ; the two yokes ( Jeremiah 27:2 ); and in the New Testament, our Lord's standing the little child in the midst of the disciples; the washing the disciples' feet; the... read more
