Exegesis
The Niphal perfect verbs niglu {נִגְלוּ | nîg-lū} ‘have been revealed’ and nekhmesu {נֶחְמְסוּ | neḥ-mə-sū} ‘have been violated’ depict exposure and violent mistreatment.
In context — Jeremiah 13:22
And if you say in your heart, “Why have these things happened to me?” it is on account of the greatness of your iniquity that your skirts have been uncovered and your heels have been violated.
