以赛亚书 3:16-17 CUVS

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 3:16

Moreover the Lord saith, because the daughters of Zion are haughty ,.... The wives or daughters of the rulers, princes, or elders; these were "high", affected to look high and tall, and therefore stretched out their necks, and walked on tiptoes; or "were lifted up" with pride, which is the root and source of all the vanity expressed in their gesture and ornaments. And walk with stretched forth necks or "throats"; looking high, and above others, and upon them with contempt and disdain;... 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 3:16

And wanton eyes "And falsely setting off their eyes with paint" - Hebrew, falsifying their eyes. I take this to be the true meaning and literal rendering of the word; from שקר shakar . The Masoretes have pointed it, as if it were from שקר sakar , a different word. This arose, as I imagine, from their supposing that the word was the same with סקר sakar , Chaldee, "intueri, innuere oculis;" or that it had an affinity with the noun סיקרא sikra , which the Chaldeans, or the... 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

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:16

The daughters of Zion. It is over-fanciful to go beyond the plain meaning of the words here, and suppose allegory. "The daughters of Zion" are the female inhabitants of Jerusalem. Are haughty ; or, proud—like the men ( Isaiah 2:11 , Isaiah 2:12 , Isaiah 2:17 ). Walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes. Mr. Cheyne translates, "ogling eyes." Both actions indicate the desire to attract men's attention, and are shameless and immodest. Walking and mincing as they go ; i.e. ... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 3:16

Dress and character. The Word of God has sometimes things to say which it cannot be satisfied to address generally to mankind; it requires a more direct superscription for its message, and writes to men, to women, even sometimes to wives, maidens, mothers, widows, children. In the effort of Isaiah to produce a deep and general conviction of the national sin and disgrace and impending ruin, he singles out the women of that day; he bids us trace the influence of a godless luxury in their vain... 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
