God strips Judah of what amounts to the basic support system of a functioning society: in a first move, all supplies of food and water, all military, legal, administrative, religious, and spiritual leadership <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will disappear. In their place, boys will rule, further upending the order of society and leading to oppression. Women will govern, and their rule is seen as even more disconcerting. But at the same time, Isaiah notes that the just will do well, enjoying the fruit of their works (10). These apparent contrasts are typical for many passages in the book of Isaiah: God\u2019s punishment, and the promise of salvation often follow each other. Judgement and redemption are closely linked, as is explained in the first chapter: \u201cZion shall be saved in her judgement\u201d (1:27). One seems to necessitate the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large part of this chapter is taken up by a long list of the gorgeous clothes and accessories worn by the \u201cdaughters of Zion.\u201d We read about anklets, earrings, nose rings, turbans, amulets\u2026 It seems that Isaiah is not primarily offended by the opulent clothing items but rather by the attitude with which they are worn. God will mete out punishment because \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the daughters of Zion are so vain and walk with heads thrown back, with roving eyes, and with mincing gait, making a tinkling with their feet\u201d (16).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is, of course, problematic that the offending behavior is marked on the bodies of women. Why focus on women\u2019s clothes instead of, say, sumptuous swords with intricate hilts imported from abroad? And were men not guilty of overspending on clothes? In any case, the text makes it clear that haughtiness and arrogance are not the prerogative of ancient Israelite women alone. God\u2019s punishment has nothing to do with fancy clothes. Rather, they are signs of impending judgment, signs of everything that will soon be lost in the Assyrian invasions that feature so prominently in the book of Isaiah. Judah\u2019s men, Isaiah predicts, shall fall by the sword (25), and women shall lament and mourn (26).<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":64862,"id":64862,"title":"is3-dresses","filename":"is3-dresses.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/is3-dresses.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/punishment-and-salvation-judgment-and-redemption\/is3-dresses\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"is3-dresses","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":64861,"date":"2019-10-27
