Jeremiah 13:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 13:7
This verse reveals decay: '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 profited for nothing.' 'Digged' (chapharthi) indicates excavation; 'took' (eqqach) retrieves the buried garment. 'Behold' (hinneh) creates dramatic revelation—'the girdle was marred' (nishchath ha'ezor). The Hebrew shachath (שָׁחַת) means ruined, corrupted, destroyed. 'It profited for nothing' (lo yitslach lekhol)—completely worthless, beyond repair or use. The intimate garment, once valuable and personal, has become garbage.
