Or a bride her attire? whether it belongs to the head, or the breast, or arms, whether bracelets or jewels, wherever worn, is not worth the disputing; but understand those rich jewels which the bridegroom was wont to present his bride with, partly for a general obligation, and partly of particular signification, and all of them ornamental, whatever may render her amiable in the eyes of her bridegroom; virgins, and especially brides, will not usually neglect any thing that may make them comely.
Have forgotten me, viz. in the neglect of my worship; me, who was not only their defence, but their glory, Jer_2:11, &c., that for which other nations honoured them, Psa_148:14 Eze_16:10-14.
