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 Jerusalem Miserable art thou, and greater miseries await thee, as the fruit of such practices. Wilt thou not be made clean? The prophet here expresses, in the strongest manner, his desire for the repentance and reformation of this people. The original, מתי עוד, When once? is remarkably emphatical. The aposiopesis, as it is called, or form of speech, by which, through a vehement affection, the prophet suddenly breaks off his discourse, is remarkably beautiful and expressive.
