_ _ stink — arising from ulcers (Zechariah 14:12).

_ _ girdle — to gird up the loose Eastern garments, when the person walked.

_ _ rent — the Septuagint, better, a “rope,” an emblem of poverty; the poor have nothing else to gird up their clothes with.

_ _ well-set hair — (1 Peter 3:3, 1 Peter 3:4).

_ _ baldness — (Isaiah 3:17).

_ _ stomacher — a broad plaited girdle.

_ _ sackcloth — (2 Samuel 3:31).

_ _ burning — a sunburnt countenance, owing to their hoods and veils being stripped off, while they had to work as captives under a scorching sun (Song of Songs 1:6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 3:16-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 3:24

Girdle — Which were fine and costly, and useful to gird their garments about them. A rent — Torn and tattered garments. Burning — By the heat of the sun, to which they are now commonly exposed, from which they used formerly to guard themselves with the utmost care.
