They will strip off your clothes
This phrase is a vivid depiction of humiliation and exposure. In the Hebrew context, the act of stripping someone of their clothes symbolizes shame and vulnerability. Clothes in ancient Israel were not just practical garments but also represented one's status and dignity. The stripping away of clothes signifies the removal of honor and protection, leaving the individual exposed to disgrace. This imagery is used by Ezekiel to convey the severity of judgment that God is pronouncing on the people for their unfaithfulness. It serves as a metaphor for the stripping away of false securities and the exposure of sin.

and take your fine jewelry
The mention of "fine jewelry" highlights the wealth and adornments that were often associated with idolatry and alliances with foreign nations. In the ancient Near East, jewelry was not only a sign of wealth but also of cultural and religious identity. The taking of jewelry signifies the loss of these alliances and the stripping away of the false gods and idols that the people had adorned themselves with. Historically, this reflects the invasions and plundering by foreign powers, which were seen as instruments of divine judgment. Spiritually, it represents the removal of all that the people had placed their trust in, apart from God. This serves as a call to return to the true source of beauty and worth, which is found in a faithful relationship with God.
