In the context of Ezekiel, it symbolizes the stripping away of Israel's false security and idolatry. The act of stripping clothes is also a metaphor for judgment and the removal of God's protection. In <a href="/genesis/3-21.htm">Genesis 3:21</a>, God provides garments for Adam and Eve, symbolizing His covering and protection, which contrasts with the removal of clothing here as a sign of divine judgment.<p><b>and take your fine jewelry.</b><br>The taking of fine jewelry represents the loss of wealth and status. Jewelry in ancient Israel was often a sign of prosperity and divine blessing. The removal of jewelry can be seen as a reversal of God's blessings due to Israel's unfaithfulness. This imagery is reminiscent of the Israelites' idolatry with the golden calf in <a href="/exodus/32.htm">Exodus 32</a>, where they used their jewelry to create an idol, leading to God's anger. The loss of jewelry here underscores the consequences of idolatry and the forfeiture of God's favor.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered to the exiles in Babylon.
