21:26 this is what the sovereign Lord says:
Tear off the turban, 1
take off the crown!
Things must change! 2
Exalt the lowly,
bring down the proud! 3
1 tn Elsewhere in the Bible the turban is worn by priests (Exod 28:4, 37, 39; 29:6; 39:28, 31; Lev 8:9; 16:4), but here a royal crown is in view.
2 tn Heb “This not this.”
3 tn Heb “the high one.”
