Isaiah 3:18-19

     18. bravery—the finery.

      tinkling—(See Isa 3:16).

      cauls—network for the head. Or else, from an Arabic root, "little suns," answering to the "tires" or neck-ornaments, "like the moon" (Jud 8:21). The chumarah or crescent is also worn in front of the headdress in West Asia.

     19. chains—rather, pendants, hanging about the neck, and dropping on the breast.

      mufflers—veils covering the face, with apertures for the eyes, close above and loosely flowing below. The word radically means "tremulous," referring to the changing effect of the spangles on the veil.
