以賽亞書 3:17 RCUVTS

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 3:17

Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion ,.... This is opposed to the lifting up of their heads in that haughty manner they did, and to the binding, and plaiting, and curling of their hair, which now will fall off, through the scab or leprosy upon them, or must be obliged to be shaven off. And the Lord will discover their secret parts ; the Vulgate Latin renders it, "their hair", which is their glory, 1 Corinthians 11:6 . The Targum is,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 3:17

The Lord will smite "Will the Lord humble" - ταπεινωσει , Septuagint; and so Syriac and Chaldee. For שפח sippach they read שפל shaphal . Instead of יהוה Yehovah , many MSS. have אדני Adonai . Will discover their secret parts "Expose their nakedness" - It was the barbarous custom of the conquerors of those times to strip their captives naked, and to make them travel in that condition, exposed to the inclemency of the weather; and the worst of all, to the intolerable heat... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:8-26

THE CAUSE OF THE JUDGMENT SHOWN TO BE THE SINS OF JERUSALEM . 1. The sins of the men . ( Isaiah 3:8-15 ). These are declared to be partly sins of speech, but mainly sins of act ( Isaiah 3:8 ). Of sins of speech the only one specified is the open and shameless declaration of their wickedness ( Isaiah 3:9 ). Under the head of sins of act are enumerated The enumeration of the sins is mixed with exhortation and comment in such a way as to give rise to the... read more

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:16-26

The vanity of vanity. The graphic pen of the prophet brings before us the thoughts— I. THAT THE LAST AND SADDEST SYMPTOM OF NATIONAL DECLINE IS FOUND IN WOMANLY FOLLY . "Moreover … the daughters of Zion," etc. ( Isaiah 3:16 ). Corruption may have spread far and done much evil work in the community, but there is hope for the city or the Church so long as the wives and the mothers, the daughters and the sisters, retain their moral and spiritual integrity. When... read more

Therefore the Lord will smite with a seal . Thus destroying their beauty by producing baldness (comp. Isaiah 3:24 ; and for the meaning "smite with a scab," see Le Isaiah 13:2 ; Isaiah 14:1-32 :56). read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 3:17

Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab - There is some diversity of rendering to this expression. The Septuagint reads it: ‘The Lord will humble the principal daughters of Zion’ - those who belong to the court, or to the families of the princes. The Chaldee, ‘The Lord will prostrate the glory of the daughters of Zion.’ The Syriac is the same. The Hebrew word שׂפח s'ı̂phach, translated ‘will smite with a scab,’ means to “make bald,” particularly to make the hair fall off by sickness. Our... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 3:17

Isaiah 3:17. Therefore the Lord will smite, &c. Will humble the head of the daughters of Zion; and Jehovah will expose their nakedness. Thus Bishop Lowth renders the verse, observing, that “it was the barbarous custom of the conquerors of those times to strip their captives naked, and to make them travel in that condition, exposed to the inclemency of the weather; and, which was worst of all, to the intolerable heat of the sun. But this, to the women, was the height of cruelty and... read more

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
