Exegesis
The participle hanikhlamot {הַנִּכְלָמ֖וֹת | han-nikh-lā-mōṯ} ‘the humiliated’ characterizes these agents, and the construct chain midarkekh zimmah {מִדַּרְכֵּךְ זִמָּֽה | mi-dar-kekh zim-māh} ‘from your way of lewdness’ marks causality. The progression from divine pronouncement through sequential verbs to participial and construct modifiers heightens the rhetorical impact, moving from judgment initiation to public disgrace.
In context — Ezekiel 16:27
And behold, I have stretched out My hand over you and have diminished your allotted portion, and I gave you over to the desire of those who hate you—the daughters of the Philistines, who are humiliated because of your lewd way .
