Ésaïe 3:17 Meaning and 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, "and the Lord shall take away their glory". The Syriac and Arabic versions render it "their sex", that which distinguishes their sex; of which Aben Ezra and Kimchi interpret it; than which nothing could be more distressing and intolerable, being worse than baldness of the head, and yet common with captives; and the Septuagint render it "their habit": the meaning is, they shall be stripped of their fine apparel, and be clothed in rags, so that their nakedness shall be seen. An enumeration of the several particulars follows.

Ésaïe 3:17 In-Context

15 De quel droit foulez-vous mon peuple et écrasez-vous la face des pauvres, dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel des armées?

16 L'Éternel dit encore: Parce que les filles de Sion sont orgueilleuses, qu'elles marchent le cou tendu en faisant des signes des yeux, et qu'elles marchent à petits pas, faisant résonner les boucles de leurs pieds,

17 Le Seigneur rendra chauve la tête des filles de Sion, l'Éternel découvrira leur nudité.

18 En ce jour-là, le Seigneur ôtera les anneaux dont elles se parent, les filets et les croissants;

19 Les pendants d'oreille, les bracelets et les voiles;
