This verse is actually a description of what it means to be divorced by the Lord.  "It meant utter dispossession, with nothing left but the naked body.  Israel will be nothing but a wilderness, a parched land."[17]  "It means that Israel would become a prey to their enemies when left naked and desolate by her God."[18]
