Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the waistband from the place where I had hidden it; and lo, the waistband was ruined, it was totally worthless.Why was he to go to the Euphrates? If he's still near Jerusalem, that's a journey of hundreds of miles, which he may have had to make twice. Has his location changed for some reason? Or did God just send him on a really long vacation?
Why use a waistband? What was the point of using that piece of clothing/equipment? The purpose of a waistband is to hold your cloak to the body. If the waistband was missing, it'd be like a bathrobe's belt had gone. At the least, the clothes would be more unwieldy when moving around. At worst, you might expose yourself.
