They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
They're going to strip you of everything, your clothes, your beautiful jewelry, all of it. You'll be left with nothing.
When you lose God's protection, you lose everything that made you feel secure.

This verse is part of a larger prophecy where Jerusalem is portrayed as an adulterous woman facing judgment from enemy nations, symbolizing the Babylonian invasion that led to the destruction of the temple and the city. It highlights the consequences of turning away from God, including the loss of national symbols and treasures.
