Teaching Points The Danger of Pride and VanityThe passage warns against the dangers of pride and vanity, as the women of Zion are judged for their focus on external beauty rather than inner righteousness. God’s Sovereignty in Judgment God’s removal of finery signifies His control over all aspects of life, including wealth and status. Believers are reminded of the importance of humility and submission to God’s will. The Transience of Earthly Possessions The temporary nature of material possessions is highlighted, encouraging believers to invest in eternal treasures rather than fleeting adornments. The Call to Inner Beauty The emphasis on external adornment serves as a call to cultivate inner beauty and godliness, which are of lasting value in God’s eyes. Repentance and Restoration The judgment serves as a call to repentance, with the hope of restoration for those who turn back to God and seek His righteousness.(18) Tinkling ornaments.--These were anklets, i.e., rings of metal, with or without bells, which produced the tinkling of Isaiah 3:16. The "cauls" were probably wreaths, or plaits of gold or silver net-work, worn over the forehead from ear to ear, but have been taken by some scholars as sun-like balls worn like a necklace. Round tires like the moon.--The crescent ornaments which were hung on the necks of the camels of the Midianites in the time of Gideon (Judges 8:21), and are still worn by Arabian women. It is not improbable that they were connected with the worship of Ashtaroth. Among modern Arabian women they are regarded as a charm against the evil eye. (See Note on Jeremiah 44:17-19.) Verse 18. - The bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet; rather, of their anklets. Anklets were worn by the Egyptian women from the time of the twelfth dynasty (about B.C. 1900). They were, in general, plain rings of metal, but appear to have been sometimes set with precious stones (see Lepsius, 'Denkmaler,' pt. 2. pls. 128, 129). No bells appear attached to any; but bells were known in Assyria from the time of Sennacherib ('Ancient Monarchies,' vol. 1. p. 417, 2nd edit.). Their cauls; margin, networks. The marginal rendering is probably correct (comp. LXX., ἐμπλόκια). Network caps to contain the hair seem to be intended (so Kimchi, Saadiah, Jarchi, Rosenmüller, Kay). Mr. Cheyne prefers "wreaths worn round the forehead, reaching from one ear to the other." Round tires like the moon; rather, crescents. Flat ornaments in metal, like a young moon, generally worn suspended round the neck (see Judges 8:26, where the same word occurs).Parallel Commentaries ...
