Contextual Overview

22 If you ask why all this has happened to you—why your clothes have been torn off and you have been raped—it is because your sin is so terrible. 23 Can people change the color of their skin, or a leopard remove its spots? If they could, then you that do nothing but evil could learn to do what is right. 24 The Lord will scatter you like straw that is blown away by the desert wind. 25 He has said that this will be your fate. This is what he has decided to do with you, because you have forgotten him and have trusted in false gods. 26 The Lord himself will strip off your clothes and expose you to shame. 27 He has seen you do the things he hates. He has seen you go after pagan gods on the hills and in the fields, like a man lusting after his neighbor's wife or like a stallion after a mare. People of Jerusalem, you are doomed! When will you ever be pure?

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Jeremiah 13:22, Lamentations 1:8, Ezekiel 16:37, Ezekiel 23:29, Hosea 2:10

Reciprocal: Isaiah 20:4 - with their Isaiah 47:2 - make bare Isaiah 47:3 - I will take Hosea 2:3 - I strip Nahum 3:5 - I will discover Revelation 3:18 - the shame

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face,.... Turn them up, or throw them over the head or face; that is, expose to public shame and disgrace; which was done when their city and temple were burnt, and they were carried captive; hence it follows:

that thy shame may appear; that their sins might appear to themselves and others, of which they had reason to be ashamed. The allusion is to the treatment which captive women sometimes meet with, or adulterous women, to which the Jews are here compared. The Targum is,

"and I also will reveal the confusion of thy sin upon thy face, and thy shame shall be seen.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Therefore will I - literally, “And I also;” I also must have my turn, I too must retaliate. Compare Nahum 3:5.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 13:26. Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face — It was the custom to punish lewd women by stripping them naked, and exposing them to public view; or by throwing their clothes over their heads, as here intimated. Was this the way to correct the evil?
