ISAIAH 3:16-26
King James Version
Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon. The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, The rings, and nose jewels, The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty. Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
Amplified Version
Moreover, the Lord said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks and with undisciplined (flirtatious and alluring) eyes, tripping along with mincing and affected gait, and making a tinkling noise with (the anklets on) their feet, Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the heads of the daughters of Zion (making them bald), and the Lord will cause them to be (taken as captives and to suffer the indignity of being ) stripped naked. In the day the Lord will take away the finery of their tinkling anklets, the caps of network, the crescent head ornaments, The pendants, the bracelets or chains, and the spangled face veils and scarfs, The headbands, the short ankle chains (attached from one foot to the other to insure a measured gait), the sashes, the perfume boxes, the amulets or charms (suspended from the ears or neck), the signet rings and nose rings, The festal robes, the cloaks, the stoles and shawls, and the handbags, The hand mirrors, the fine lines (undergarments), the turbans, and the (whole body-enveloping) veils. And it shall come to pass that instead of the sweet odor of spices there shall be the stench of rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and searing (of captives by the scorching heat) instead of beauty. Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty men in battle. And (Jerusalem's) gates shall lament and mourn (as those who wail for the dead); and she, being ruined and desolate, shall sit upon the ground.
ANALYSIS OF SCRIPTURE
The scripture is very descriptive. In the sight of God, the women have sinned. They and their men, and the nation will be severely punished.
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks and with undisciplined (flirtatious and alluring) eyes, tripping along with mincing and affected gait, and making a tinkling noise with (the anklets on) their feet. This was the sin of the women.
The Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the heads of the daughters of Zion (making them bald), and the Lord will cause them to be (taken as captives and to suffer the indignity of being ) stripped naked. In the day the Lord will take away the finery of their tinkling anklets, the caps of network, the crescent head ornaments, The pendants, the bracelets or chains, and the spangled face veils and scarfs, The headbands, the short ankle chains (attached from one foot to the other to insure a measured gait), the sashes, the perfume boxes, the amulets or charms (suspended from the ears or neck), the signet rings and nose rings, The festal robes, the cloaks, the stoles and shawls, and the handbags, The hand mirrors, the fine lines (undergarments), the turbans, and the (whole body-enveloping) veils. And it shall come to pass that instead of the sweet odor of spices there shall be the stench of rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and searing (of captives by the scorching heat) instead of beauty. This is the punishment of the women.
Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty men in battle. And (Jerusalem's) gates shall lament and mourn (as those who wail for the dead); and she, being ruined and desolate, shall sit upon the ground. This is the punishment of the men, city and women.
COMMENTS
The women suffer physical ailments of baldness (scabs on the crowns of the heads) and stench of rottenness (probably female cancer of their private parts). The women suffer emotional ailments of indignity (nakedness, shame, embarrassment and having their finery taken away).
The men and nation also suffer because of the sins of their wives. God apparently holds the husbands responsible for the wives' actions. The husbands are the spiritual authorities of the wives. God holds everyone responsible: wives, husbands and nation.
If a woman is getting bald or has a skin disease on the head, or has female cancer of the private parts (especially the lower part of the body), there may be a spiritual roots to the diseases (sins opened the doors).
MINISTRY
Take the woman through deliverance and then pray for healing of the diseases.
