Jeremiah 13:22

Next

¶ 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.

And if thou say {H559} in thine heart {H3824}, Wherefore come {H7122} these things upon me? For the greatness {H7230} of thine iniquity {H5771} are thy skirts {H7757} discovered {H1540}, and thy heels {H6119} made bare {H2554}.

And if you ask yourself, "Why have these things happened to me?" it is because of your many sins that your skirts are pulled up and you have been violated.

And 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.

And if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore are these things come upon me? for the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence.
