In biblical context, being "clothed in shame" implies public disgrace and humiliation. This imagery is consistent with other scriptures, such as <a href="/psalms/35-26.htm">Psalm 35:26</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/3-25.htm">Jeremiah 3:25</a>, where shame is a consequence of sin and rebellion against God. The idea of clothing in the Bible often symbolizes one's state or condition, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a>, where righteousness is described as a garment. The enemies here are those who oppose God's justice and righteousness, and their shame is a result of divine judgment.<p><b>and the tent of the wicked will be no more.</b><br>The "tent" symbolizes the dwelling place or the temporary nature of life, as seen in <a href="/2_corinthians/5.htm">2 Corinthians 5:1</a>, where Paul refers to the body as a tent. In the ancient Near Eastern context, tents were common dwellings, especially for nomadic peoples like the patriarchs. The destruction of the tent signifies the complete eradication of the wicked's presence and influence. This aligns with the biblical theme of the ultimate downfall of the wicked, as seen in <a href="/psalms/37-10.htm">Psalm 37:10</a>, where the wicked will not be found. The phrase also echoes the transient nature of earthly power and wealth, contrasting with the eternal security of the righteous.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.
