Take off the linen belt. Go to the Euphrates River and hide the belt in a crack between some large rocks. And that is what I did, just as Jehovah commanded. Some time later Jehovah said: Go back and get the linen belt. I went back and dug the belt out of the hiding place, but the cloth had rotted, and the linen belt was ruined. It was good for nothing.

I wanted to make them famous, so that other nations would praise and honor me, but they refused to obey me.

This was revenge for deaths they had caused in time of war. He killed innocent men. I bear the responsibility for what he did. I suffer the consequences.
