Commentaire sur Jérémie 13:22
וְכִ֤י תֹאמְרִי֙ בִּלְבָבֵ֔ךְ מַדּ֖וּעַ קְרָאֻ֣נִי אֵ֑לֶּה בְּרֹ֧ב עֲוֺנֵ֛ךְ נִגְל֥וּ שׁוּלַ֖יִךְ נֶחְמְס֥וּ עֲקֵבָֽיִךְ׃
Et si tu t’interroges en toi-même: "Pourquoi ces choses m’arrivent-elles?" C’est à cause de la grandeur de tes forfaits que les bords de ta robe ont été relevés et tes talons frappés avec violence.
Rashi on Jeremiah
your skirts The skirts of the garments (tes ourlets in French), your hems. When a woman is stripped in a humiliating way, they turn her chemise upside down.
