Isaiah 3:16

Washing Away Impurity

3:16 The Lord says,

“The women of Zion are proud.

They walk with their heads high

and flirt with their eyes.

They skip along

and the jewelry on their ankles jingles.

Isaiah 58:1

The Lord Desires Genuine Devotion

58:1 “Shout loudly! Don’t be quiet!

Yell as loud as a trumpet!

Confront my people with their rebellious deeds;

confront Jacob’s family with their sin!


tn Heb “daughters” (so KJV, NAB, NRSV).

tn Heb “with an outstretched neck.” They proudly hold their heads high so that others can see the jewelry around their necks.

tn Heb “walking and skipping, they walk.”

tn Heb “and with their feet they jingle.”

tn Heb “declare to my people their rebellion.”

tn Heb “and to the house of Jacob their sin.” The verb “declare” is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).
