Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be
seen,
&c.] Not only stripped of their garments, and have nothing to
cover their naked bodies, being spoiled of all by the soldiers;
but should have nothing to cover those parts which women are most
ashamed should be exposed to view, and which is often the case of
such who fall into the hands of the conquerors. It is said of the
whore of Rome, of mystical Babylon, that the kings of the earth
should hate her, and make her desolate and naked, ( Revelation
17:16 ) : I will take vengeance;
for though the Medes and Persians were the instruments, the
destruction was of the Lord, who took vengeance of the Chaldeans,
for their ill usage of his people; as he will on mystical
Babylon, ( Revelation
18:20 ) ( 19:2 ) :
and I will not meet thee as a man;
in a humane way, with lenity, tenderness, and compassion, but
with inflexible wrath and fury; not with human strength, which is
but weakness, but with the strength of the mighty God; as is said
of mystical Babylon, strong is the Lord God that judgeth
her,
( Revelation 18:8 ) or it
may be rendered, "I will not meet a man" F4; or a
man shall not meet me, to stop or hinder me, by strength or
might, or by prayers and entreaties. So some give the sense, "I
will not receive the "intercession of any man for thee"; which is
observed by Kimchi. The Targum is, "I will change "thy judgment
from the children of men"; which agrees with the first sense.
