- are haughty
- 24:4 32:9-11 Proverbs 16:18 ; 30:13 Ezekiel 16:49 Ezekiel 16:50 ; Zephaniah 3:11
- wanton eyes
- Hebrew deceiving with their eyes.
- Or, as {messakkaroth ainayim} is rendered in the Targum, "painting their eyes with stibium:" for {sakar} is probably
- the same as the Chaldee {sekar,} or that import.* mincing or, tripping nicely. and making.
- The Eastern ladies wear on their ankles large rings to which smaller ones are attached, which make a tinkling sound as they move nimbly.
