Context — Captivity Threatened
20Lift up your eyes and see those coming from the north. Where is the flock entrusted to you, the sheep that were your pride?
21What will you say when He sets over you close allies whom you yourself trained? Will not pangs of anguish grip you, as they do a woman in labor?
22And if you ask yourself, “Why has this happened to me?” It is because of the magnitude of your iniquity that your skirts have been stripped off and your body has been exposed.
23Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Neither are you able to do good— you who are accustomed to doing evil. 24“I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind.Cross References

Jeremiah 13:22 Summary
[This verse is saying that when bad things happen to us, it's often because of the bad choices we've made, and God is allowing us to experience the consequences of those choices, as a way of drawing us back to Himself. It's like when we do something wrong, and we feel ashamed or embarrassed - that's what's happening here. The shame and humiliation are a result of our sin, and God is calling us to repentance and restoration, as seen in Jeremiah 13:22 and also in verses like Psalm 51:17, where David cries out to God for mercy and forgiveness.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the meaning of 'skirts have been stripped off and your body has been exposed' in Jeremiah 13:22?
This phrase is a metaphor for shame and humiliation, as a result of sin, similar to what is described in Isaiah 47:3, where the shame of sin is compared to being stripped naked.
Why does God allow bad things to happen to us?
According to Jeremiah 13:22, it is because of the magnitude of our iniquity, as it says 'It is because of the magnitude of your iniquity that your skirts have been stripped off and your body has been exposed', and as Romans 6:23 reminds us, 'the wages of sin is death'
Can we escape the consequences of our sin?
Jeremiah 13:22 and the surrounding verses suggest that we cannot escape the consequences of our sin, just as the Ethiopian cannot change his skin or the leopard his spots, as stated in Jeremiah 13:23, and as Galatians 6:7-8 warns us, 'whatever a man sows, that he will also reap'
What is the purpose of God's discipline in our lives?
The purpose of God's discipline is to bring us to repentance and restoration, as stated in Hebrews 12:10-11, and Jeremiah 13:22 serves as a reminder that our sin has consequences, but God's discipline is always intended to draw us back to Himself, as seen in Jeremiah 31:18-20
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I have tried to hide my sin, and how can I come to God in repentance and honesty?
- How have I experienced the consequences of my sin, and what have I learned from those experiences?
- What are some ways that I can humble myself before God and acknowledge my need for His forgiveness and restoration?
- In what ways can I apply the principle of Jeremiah 13:22 to my life, acknowledging the magnitude of my iniquity and seeking God's mercy and forgiveness?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 13:22
And if thou say in thine heart,.... Not daring to express it with the mouth; and which, notwithstanding, God, that knows the heart, was privy to, and could discern all the secret workings of it;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 13:22
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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 13:22
Hypocrites will rarely confess their own shame and God’ s righteousness, but are ready to expostulate and dispute with God, and to call him to account why he hath dealt so with them, as if God had dealt unjustly. But (saith God) if thou shouldst have any such thoughts in thine heart, do but remember thine iniquities, how many and how great they have been, thy nakedness is discovered because of these, and for these thou art exposed to contempt and shame. Probably these phrases are fetched from the usual practice of soldiers, when they have conquered a place and taken prisoners, to strip them, and leave those of either sex, either no clothes to cover their nakedness, or nothing but their own rags, not sufficient to cover their nakedness. By skirts is meant the lower part of their bodies covered with the lower part of their garments.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 13:22
Jeremiah 13:22 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.Ver. 22. Are thy skirts discovered.] Thou art brought to most miserable shame and servitude, having scarce a rag to thy back, or a shoe for thy foot.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 13:22
(22) Are thy skirts discovered.—The “skirts,” or flowing train, worn by women of rank, the removal of which was the sign of extremest degradation (Isaiah 20:4; Isaiah 47:2; Ezekiel 23:29; Hosea 2:3; Nahum 3:5). Thy heels made bare.—Better, outraged, or disgraced, made to walk barefoot, like menial slaves; possibly, like the outcast harlot. Compare Isaiah’s walking “naked and barefoot” as the symbol of the coming degradation of his people (Isaiah 20:2-4).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 13:22
Verse 22. Are thy skirts discovered] Thy defenceless state is every where known; thou art not only weak, but ignominiously so. It is thy scandal to be in so depressed a condition; thou art lower than the basest of thy adversaries, and thou art so because of thy sin.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 13:22
20–27. Lament for the calamities brought about by Jerusalem’s sin See, O Jerusalem, the northern foe descends on thee. What has become of thy goodly nation? How wilt thou endure those who were erst thy friends, now become thy rulers? What shall be thy pangs? And dost thou ask, Wherefore? It is the penalty of thy sin. Evil, through inveterate custom, has become as immutable a thing with thee as is the Ethiopian’s skin or the leopard’s spotted hide. Scattered like the chaff that is whirled along by the desert wind, thou shalt have this for thy lot because of thy faithlessness. Shame and disgrace are the results of the lewd practices which thou hast openly carried on.
Canst thou ever become clean again? The date may well be that of the battle of Carchemish (b.c. 605), which exposed Judah defenceless to Nebuchadnezzar. The foe spoken of cannot be the Scythians (see on Jeremiah 1:13), as they never were “friends,” whereas for the attempt to be on friendly terms with the Eastern powers we may cp. Jeremiah 2:36, Jeremiah 4:30.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 13:22
Made bare - Rather, “ill-used, treated with violence.” The long flowing robes worn by ladies of rank, are to be laid aside, that they might do menial work, bare-legged, like slaves.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 13:22
22. Skirts discovered — Lifted so as to expose the person, expressive of ignominy and shame. Heels made bare — Driven into exile as captives and slaves, barefoot and with violence.
