エレミヤ書 13:26 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 13:22-27

Here is, I. Ruin threatened as before, that the Jews shall go into captivity, and fall under all the miseries of beggary and bondage, shall be stripped of their clothes, their skirts discovered for want of upper garments to cover them, and their heels made bare for want of shoes, Jer. 13:22. Thus they used to deal with prisoners taken in war, when they drove them into captivity, naked and barefoot, Isa. 20:4. Being thus carried off into a strange country, they shall be scattered there, as the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:26

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... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 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? read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 13:26

Verse 26 He continues the same subject, — that God did not deal with his people with so much severity without the most just cause; for it could not be expected that he should treat them with more gentleness, since they rejected him and had recourse to vain confidences. I also, he says; for the particle גם,gam, denotes something mutual, as though he had said, “I also will have my turn; for I have it in my power to avenge myself: I will retaliate,” he seems to say, “this thine ingratitude; for as... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 13:26-27

Jeremiah 13:26-27. Therefore will I discover thy skirts Lay thee open to shame and disgrace. See on Jeremiah 13:22. I have seen thine adulteries Thy idolatries; thy inordinate desire after strange gods, which thou hast been impatient to gratify: thy neighings A metaphorical expression taken from horses neighing to each other; the lewdness of thy whoredoms Thy impudence and unsatiableness in the worship of idols, on the hills, in the fields, upon the high places. Wo unto thee, O... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-27

A nation useless and disgraced (13:1-27)In an effort to emphasize God’s warnings to Judah more forcefully, Jeremiah gave them an illustration that they could all see. He took a piece of clean new cloth, put it around his waist, then walked to a distant river where he buried the cloth in the river bank. Some time later he returned to the river and brought back the cloth for all to see. It was now rotten and useless (13:1-7). The meaning is that Judah, the nation that was supposed to be morally... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 13:26

26. discover . . . upon thy face—rather, "throw up thy skirts over thy face," or head; done by way of ignominy to captive women and to prostitutes ( :-). The Jews' punishment should answer to their crime. As their sin had been perpetrated in the most public places, so God would expose them to the contempt of other nations most openly ( :-). read more
