Of whom let it not be the outward adorning of braiding of hair, and wearing of gold, or of putting on of [fine] clothes,

For thus formerly, the holy women who hoped on God also adorned themselves, subjecting themselves to their own husbands,

and the woman meets him having the appearance of a harlot, that causes the hearts of young men to flutter.

Thus says the Lord, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and have walked with an outstretched neck, and winking with their eyes, and jingling with their feet, at the same time drawing their garments in trains, and at the same time sporting with their feet;

Older women likewise are to be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teaching what is good,

temperate, pure, homemakers, good, submitting to their own husbands, lest the word of God be blasphemed.

And the servant, having brought forth jewels of silver and gold and raiment, gave them to Rebecca, and gave gifts to her brother, and to her mother.

And the men, even everyone to whom it seemed good in his heart, brought from the women, [they] brought seals and earrings, finger rings, necklaces and bracelets, every article of gold.

And all as many as brought ornaments of gold to the Lord, and with whomsoever fine linen was found; and they brought skins [dyed] blue, and rams' skins dyed red.

Now when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel has heard [of it], and colored her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out through the window.

And it came to pass on the third day, when she had ceased praying, that she put off her mean dress, and put on her glorious apparel. And being splendidly arrayed, [and] having called upon God the Overseer and Preserver of all things, she took her two maids, and she leaned upon one, as a delicate female, and the other followed bearing her train. And she [was] blooming in the perfection of her beauty; and her face [was] cheerful and benevolent, but her heart [was] straitened for fear. And having passed through all the doors, she stood before the king. And he was sitting upon his royal throne, and he had put on all his glorious apparel, [covered] all over with gold and precious stones, and was very terrible. And having raised his face resplendent with glory, he looked with intense anger. And the queen fell, and changed her color as she fainted; and she bowed herself upon the head of the maid that went before [her]. But God changed the spirit of the king's gentleness, and in intense feeling he sprang from off his throne, and took her into his arms, until she recovered. And he comforted her with peaceable words, and said to her, What is [the matter], Esther? I [am] your brother; be of good cheer, you shall not die, for our command is openly declared [to you;] Draw near.

All her glory [is that] of the daughter of the king of Heshbon, robed in golden fringed garments,

in embroidered [clothing]; virgins shall be brought to the king after her; her fellows shall be brought to You.

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

She makes for her husband clothes of double texture, and garments for herself of fine linen and scarlet.

and the Lord will take away the glory of their garments, the curls and the fringes, and the crescents,

and the array of glorious ornaments, and the armlets, and the bracelets, and the wreathed work, and the finger rings, and the ornaments for the right hand,

and the garments with purple grounds, and the shawls to be worn in the house, and the Spartan transparent dresses,

And instead of a sweet smell there shall be dust; and instead of a sash, you shall gird yourself with a rope; and instead of a golden ornament for your head, you shall have baldness on account of your works; and instead of a tunic with a scarlet ground, you shall gird yourself with sackcloth.

And they shall build the old waste places, they shall raise up those that were before made desolate, and shall renew the desert cities, [even] those that had been desolate for [many] generations.

Will a bride forget her attire, or a virgin her ornaments? But My people have forgotten Me days without number!

And what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, and adorn yourself with golden ornaments; though you adorn your eyes with paint, your beauty [shall be] in vain. Your lovers have rejected you, they seek your life.

And I washed you in water, and washed your blood from you, and anointed you with oil.

and decked you also with ornaments, and put bracelets on your hands, and a necklace on your neck.

So you were adorned with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour and oil and honey, and became extremely beautiful.

But you trusted in your beauty, and went a-whoring because of your fame, and poured out your fornication on every passer by.

So why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither labor, nor spin;

and yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft garments are in kings' houses.

Of whom let it not be the outward adorning of braiding of hair, and wearing of gold, or of putting on of [fine] clothes,
