God gives Jeremiah some divine instructions about a girdle. He tells him not to wash it, but to hide (bury?) it in a rock. Jeremiah does as he's told. But, alas, when he goes to retrieve it, it was ruined. 13:1 Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. (13:1-7)
13:2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins. 13:3 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, 13:4 Take 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. 13:5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me. 13:6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there. 13:7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

Another answer from our community:The dates of the events in the book of Jeremiah is from the Judean king Josiah's 13th year (or 627BC) in Jeremiah 1:2 to beyond the fall of Jerusalem ( or 586BC) in Jeremiah 39, 40, and 52. As Jewish tradition is that Jeremiah was taken captive by the Babylonians when they invaded Egypt (he went to Egypt - see Jer 43, 44) in 568/67 BC, it could not have been actually written much later than that.
The word "if" is used in the book of Jeremiah approximately 21 times.
It was written by the prophet jeremiah, before they were taken captive to Babylon as slaves.
There are 1366 verses in the book of Jeremiah not including Lamentations.
Jeremiah is accredited with writing the book of Jeremiah and Lamentations, both found in the Old Testament. Jewish tradition also ascribes the Book of Kings (1 Kings and 2 Kings) to Jeremiah.
See Jeremiah ch.29, which begins:"Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem."
The word Jeremiah appears 132 times in the book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament
