Contextual Overview

16 The Lord said, "Look how proud the women of Jerusalem are! They walk along with their noses in the air. They are always flirting. They take dainty little steps, and the bracelets on their ankles jingle. 17 But I will punish them—I will shave their heads and leave them bald." 18 A day is coming when the Lord will take away from the women of Jerusalem everything they are so proud of—the ornaments they wear on their ankles, on their heads, on their necks, 19 and on their wrists. He will take away their veils 20 and their hats; the magic charms they wear on their arms and at their waists; 21 the rings they wear on their fingers and in their noses; 22 all their fine robes, gowns, cloaks, and purses; 23 their revealing garments, their linen handkerchiefs, and the scarves and long veils they wear on their heads. 24 Instead of using perfumes, they will stink; instead of fine belts, they will wear coarse ropes; instead of having beautiful hair, they will be bald; instead of fine clothes, they will be dressed in rags; their beauty will be turned to shame! 25 The men of the city, yes, even the strongest men, will be killed in war.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The changeable suits of apparel,.... To put on and off upon occasion; Kimchi says they were beautiful garments, and so they stand opposed to filthy ones, Zechariah 3:3

and the mantles: or "cloaks", as the Targum; Jarchi translates the word by "bedclothes", or coverings for the bed, such as tapestry, rugs, quilts, c. which were worked with purple hence the Septuagint makes use of words to express it by of such a signification:

and the wimples; according to Jarchi, these were "towels" or linen cloths, with which they wiped their hands; but, according to Kimchi, they were "veils" with which women covered themselves; and so the word is rendered in Ruth 3:15 and elsewhere d he observes, that some interpret it of "gloves"; some think "aprons" are meant: our English word "wimples" comes from the Dutch word "wimpel", a muffler, or plaited linen cloth, which nuns wear to cover their necks and breasts; the word is also used for a streamer or flag:

and the crisping pins: with which they used to part their hair, and curl their locks, and keep them so: according to Kimchi, they were "purses"; and such made of silk, and wrought with gold and silver, may very well be reckoned among the ornaments of women; and the word is rendered "bags" in 2 Kings 5:23 some think needle cases are meant; the word by which the Targum explains it seems to design "hooks" or "clasps", with which women clasped their garments, that they might be kept close about them.

d In Sepher Shorash. rad. טפח.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The articles which are mentioned in the remaining part of this description, are entire articles of apparel; those which had preceded were chiefly single ornaments.

The changeable suits of apparel - The word which is used here in the original comes from a verb signifying “to pull of” as a shoe; to unclothe one’s-self; and it here denotes the more “costly” or “valuable” garments, which are not worn on common occasions, and which are “laid aside” in ordinary employments. This does not refer to any “particular” article of dress, but to splendid and costly articles in general. ‘The Eastern ladies take great pride in having many changes of apparel, because their fashions never alter. Thus the net brocades worn by their grandmothers are equally fashionable for themselves.’ - “Roberts.”

And the mantles - From the verb “to cover,” or “to clothe.” The word “mantle” does not quite express the force of the original. It means the fuller “tunic” which was worn over the common one, with sleeves, and which reached down to the feet. ‘A loose robe,’ says Roberts, ‘which is gracefully crossed on the bosom.’

And the wimples - Our word “wimple” means a “hood,” or “veil,” but this is not the meaning of the Hebrew word in this place. It means a wide, broad garment, which could be thrown over the whole, and in which the individual usually slept. ‘Probably the fine muslin which is sometimes thrown over the head and body.’ - “Roberts.”

And the crisping-pins - This phrase with us would denote “curling-irons.” But the Hebrew here denotes a very different article. It means “money-bags,” or “purses.” These were often made very large, and were highly ornamented; compare 2 Kings 5:23. Frequently they were attached to the girdle.
