Isaiah 3:18-21

Context

3:18 1 At that time 2  the sovereign master will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, 3  neck ornaments, crescent shaped ornaments, 3:19 earrings, bracelets, veils, 3:20 headdresses, ankle ornaments, sashes, sachets, 4  amulets, 3:21 rings, nose rings,

1 sn The translation assumes that the direct quotation ends with v. 17. The introductory formula “in that day” and the shift from a poetic to prosaic style indicate that a new speech unit begins in v. 18.

2 tn Or “in that day” (KJV).

3 tn Or “the beauty of [their] ankle jewelry.”

4 tn Heb “houses of breath.” HALOT 124 s.v. בַּיִת defines them as “scent-bottles”; cf. NAB, NRSV “perfume boxes.”
