4. “Take the belt you bought and are wearing, and go to Perath. Hide the belt there in a crack in the rocks.”
5. So I went to Perath and hid the belt there, just as the Lord told me.
6. Many days later the Lord said to me, “Now go to Perath and get the belt I told you to hide there.”
7. So I went to Perath and dug up the belt and took it from where I had hidden it. But now it was ruined; it was good for nothing.
8. Then the Lord spoke his word to me.
