Contextual Overview
1 Thus says Yahweh to me, Go, and buy a linen girdle, and put it on your loins, and don't put it in water. 2 So I bought a girdle according to the word of Yahweh, and put it on my loins. 3 And the word of Yahweh came to me the second time, saying, 4 Take the girdle that you have bought, which is on your loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock. 5 So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Yahweh commanded me. 6 And it came to pass after many days, that Yahweh said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the girdle from there, which I commanded you to hide there. 7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and, look, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing. 8 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 9 Thus says Yahweh, After this manner I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10 This evil people, that refuse to hear my words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take the girdle which thou hast got, which is upon thy loins,.... Either he is bid to take it off his loins, on which it was; or to go with it on them; seeing the taking it off does not seem absolutely necessary; and go with it to the place directed to in the following words:
and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock; by the river side, where the waters, coming and going, would reach and wet it, and it drying again, would rot the sooner. This signifies the carrying of the Jews captive to Babylon, by which city the river Euphrates ran, and the obscure state and condition they would be in there; and where all their pride and glory would be marred, as afterwards declared.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In a hole of the rock - âIn a cleft of the rock.â As there are no fissured rocks in Babylonia, the place where Jeremiah hid the girdle must have been somewhere in the upper part of the river.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 13:4. Go to Euphrates, and hide it there — Intending to point out, by this distant place, the country into which they were to be carried away captive.
