イザヤ書 3:22-24 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:23

The glasses ; rather, the mirrors . In ancient times these were not made of glass, but of some metal which took a high polish. Most commonly, the material seems to have been bronze. Many such mirrors have been found in Egypt, a few in Assyria, in Etruria a considerable number. They are of small size, intended to be carried in the hand, and have for that purpose a metal or a wooden handle, which is sometimes highly artistic. The fine linen ; rather, the muslin robes . Sedin , the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:24

Instead of sweet smell ; literally, spice (comp. Exodus 35:28 ; 1 Kings 10:10 , etc.). Stink ; rather, rottenness , as translated in Isaiah 5:24 (compare the cognate verb in Le 26:39). Instead of a girdle a rent. So Lowth and Kay; but most moderns prefer the meaning given by the Septuagint and Vulgate, "instead of a girdle, a rope ." The word used occurs only in this place. Instead of well-set hair baldness (compare above, Isaiah 5:17 ). By "well-set hair" seems to be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 3:22

The articles which are mentioned in the remaining part of this description, are entire articles of apparel; those which had preceded were chiefly single ornaments.The changeable suits of apparel - The word which is used here in the original comes from a verb signifying “to pull of” as a shoe; to unclothe one’s-self; and it here denotes the more “costly” or “valuable” garments, which are not worn on common occasions, and which are “laid aside” in ordinary employments. This does not refer to any... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 3:23

The glasses - There is a great variety of opinion about the expression used here. That ancient Jews had “looking-glasses,” or mirrors, is manifest from the account in Exodus 38:8. These “mirrors” were made of polished plates of brass. The Vulgate and Chaldee understand this of “mirrors.” The Septuagint understands by it a “thin, transparent covering like gauze,” perhaps like silk. The word is derived from the verb “to reveal, to make apparent,” etc., and applies either to mirrors or to a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 3:24

And it shall come to pass - The prophet proceeds to denounce the “judgment” or “punishment” that would come upon them for their pride and vanity. In the calamities that would befall the nation, all their ornaments of pride and vainglory would be stripped off; and instead of them, they would exhibit the marks, and wear the badges of calamity and grief.Instead of sweet smell - Hebrew בשׂם bôs'em, aromatics, perfumes, spicy fragrance; such as they used on their garments and persons. ‘No one ever... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 3:22-24

Isaiah 3:22-24. The embroidered robes, and the tunics, and the cloaks, and the little purses, Isaiah 3:22. The transparent garments A kind of silken dress, transparent like gauze; worn only by the most delicate women, and such as dressed themselves, as Sallust observes, “elegantius quam necesse esset probis,” more elegantly than was necessary for modest women. This sort of garments was afterward in use among the Greeks. And the fine linen vests; and the turbans, and the mantles,... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:1-26

Ungodly society (3:1-4:1)Isaiah now gives a picture of the end of a society characterized by human self-sufficiency and self-centredness. The government collapses, resulting in a shortage of basic necessities such as food and water. Judah had previously depended for leadership on a variety of people, good and bad - statesmen, soldiers, judges, prophets, magicians - but now no one can be found to lead the country (3:1-3). Power falls into the hands of immature youths, and lawlessness results.... read more
