And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare.
If thou say - connecting this verse with "What wilt thou say?" (Jeremiah 13:21.)
Thy skirts are discovered - i:e., are thrown up so as to expose the person (Jeremiah 13:26; Isaiah 3:17; Nab. 3:5).
Heels made bare - the sandal was fastened by a thong above the heel to the instep. The Hebrew is, 'are violently handled,' or 'torn off;' i:e., thou art exposed to ignominy. Image from an adulteress.
