Exegesis
The successive verbs boshah vechapeirah {בּ֣וֹשָׁה וְחָפֵ֑רָה | bō-šāh wə-ḥāp̄ê-rāh} ‘she was ashamed and humiliated’ double the sense of disgrace.
In context — Jeremiah 15:9
The one who bore seven languishes; she has breathed out her life and her sun has gone down while it is still day. She is ashamed and humiliated. And their remnant I will give to the sword before their enemies, declares the LORD .
