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:
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty. Luxury had become great in Uzziah's prosperous reign (2 Chronicles 26:5; 2 Chronicles 26:15).
And walk with stretched forth necks - necks proudly elevated (Psalms 75:5).
And wanton eyes - Hebrew ( uwmsaqrowt (H8265), to deceive), 'deceiving with their eyes.' But Buxtorf and Mercer write it mªsaquqerowt (from saaqar (H8265), to wink and throw wanton looks). Winking wantonly (Chaldaic, sequar, to gaze at): making the eyes to glance about-namely, wantonly (Proverbs 6:13). So the Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac, and Arabic. Lowth, after the Chaldaic, 'falsely setting off the eyes with paint.' Women's eyelids in the East are often coloured with stibium, or powder of lead, (note, Job 42:14; Jeremiah 4:30, margin)
Mincing as they go - tripping with short steps.
Tinkling with their feet - with their anklerings on both feet, joined by small chains, which sound as they walk, and compel them to take short steps: sometimes little bells were attached (Isaiah 3:18; Isaiah 3:20).
