This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_3:18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of [their] tinkling ornaments [about their feet], and [their] cauls, and [their] round tires like the moon,
Ver. 18. The Lord will take away the bravery.] All the following bravery; for the prophet as punctually and particularly threateneth all down, as if he had lately seen the ladies’ wardrobes in Jerusalem. And if this vanity of gallantry be so blameworthy in a woman, who is naturally æùïí öéëïêïóìïí , addicted to fine attire, how much more in a man, who shall turn lands into laces, and embroider his cloak with woods and parks and lordships, lining it, haply, with obligations and bonds and statutes?
Of their tinkling ornaments, &c.] Here and in the following verses we have an inventory of the ladies’ gallantry, such as made the mighty men fall in the war. {Isa_3:25-26} This was the fruit of their twinkling eyes and tinkling ornaments. Vatablus saith that the Spanish women did wear bells about their heels when they danced.
And the round tires like the moon.] Lunata monilia crescent shaped collars - Statius.
