CLOTHED
CLOTHED
To be clothed, is a metaphor frequently used to signify, to be accompanied with, or adorned, and even covered or protected; as in Job 7:5, “My flesh is clothed with worms;” Job 39:19, “Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?” So in the Psalms, “Let them be clothed with shame and dishonour,” Psa 35:6; “He is clothed with majesty, the Lord is clothed with strength,” Psa 93:1. St. Paul also uses it in 2Co 5:2, “desiring to be clothed upon with our house, which is from heaven;” and in Rom 13:14, “Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.”
