Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 13:22

Theological / Devotional

Are ... discovered. Literally, “are uncovered.” The removal of the “skirts” was an indication of the deepest degradation (see Isa. 47:1-3; Nahum 3:5). Assyrian reliefs picture captive women suffering this outrage.

Made bare. Literally, “treated violently.” This may mean that they would be compelled to walk barefoot like menial slaves or an outcast harlot (see Isa. 20:2-4).
