And lots of jewelry...","content":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In today\u2019s chapter, Isaiah violently criticizes the haughtiness of the \u201cdaughters of Zion\u201d (v. 17), who walk around \u201cwith heads thrown back, with roving eyes, with mincing gait, making a tinkling with their feet.\u201d The punishment is a litany of finery that will be stripped off: jewelry, garments, ornaments of all kinds. Their heads will be uncovered, a badge of shame, and God will strip off their anklets, fillets, crescent-shaped bracelets, their eardrops, bracelets, and veils, their turbans, armlets, sashes, talismans, amulets, rings, nose rings, robes, mantles, shawls, purses, gowns, vests, kerchiefs, and capes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of these words are known only from this context; the Bible does not often offer detailed descriptions of women\u2019s finery, and it is only in this negative context that we get a picture of what a fashionable and wealthy Iron Age woman may adorn herself with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last verses then turn to stereotypes of the opposite gender: \u201cYour people shall fall by the sword, your military might in battle.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As opposed to many of the commentators, who take these to be references to real women, and then real men, I think these are both simply metaphors applied to the whole people. The key point is not real jewels, or real swords, but that whatever the people pride themselves in will be stripped away, leaving them ashamed and degraded. Trading in stereotypes about each gender, the people are first feminized, compared as a whole to haughty women, who are then literarily disgraced at great length. And if the people think they can take refuge in some other form of pride \u2013 military, for instance \u2013 the prophet makes it clear that that, too, will be of no value. The ornamentation may vary, but the result will be the same: \u201cAnd her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall be emptied, shall sit on the ground.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pride here very much goeth before the fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image: Silver jewelry, Tel Mikneh, by Clara Amit, courtesy of the Antiquities Authority<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":64865,"id":64865,"title":"is3-jewelry","filename":"is3-jewelry.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/is3-jewelry.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/female-and-male-beauty-and-violence\/is3-jewelry\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"is3-jewelry","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":64864,"date":"2019-10-27 15:53:08","modified":"2019-10-27 15:53:22","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1024,"height":624,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/is3-jewelry-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/is3-jewelry-300x183.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":183,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/is3-jewelry-768x468.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":468,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/is3-jewelry-1024x624.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":624,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/is3-jewelry.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":624,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/is3-jewelry.jpg","2048x2048-width":1024,"2048x2048-height":624,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/is3-jewelry.jpg","post_full_size-width":1024,"post_full_size-height":624,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/is3-jewelry-689x420.jpg","home_baner-width":689,"home_baner-height":420}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"Female And Male; Beauty and Violence","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"Gender stereotype as metaphor, but the end product is defeat and degradation.
