イザヤ書 3:22-24 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 3:16-26

The prophet's business was to show all sorts of people what they had contributed to the national guilt and what share they must expect in the national judgments that were coming. Here he reproves and warns the daughters of Zion, tells the ladies of their faults; and Moses, in the law, having denounced God's wrath against the tender and delicate woman (the prophets being a comment upon the law, Deut. 28:56), he here tells them how they shall smart by the calamities that are coming upon them.... read more

(In Sepher Shorash.) rad. גלה . he says it signifies thin garments, so called because the flesh is seen through them, being so exceeding thin; which sense is favoured by the Septuagint version, which renders it by τα διαφανη λακωνικα , garments which the Lacedemonians wore, which were so thin and transparent, that the naked body might be... read more

And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be a stink ,....

Instead of sweet smell "perfume" - A principal part of the delicacy of the Asiatic ladies consists in the use of baths, and of the richest oils and perfumes; an attention to which is in some degree necessary in those hot countries.

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:16-24

The share which women have in producing the ruin of a nation. The influence of women upon men was intended to be helpful ( Genesis 2:20 ), purifying, and refining. Woman is naturally more pure than man, more modest, more retiring, more instinctively right in her moral judgments. Good women exercise an extraordinary influence over the best men, who continually consult them in the most difficult crises of politics and diplomacy. They read men far better than men read one another, and are... read more
