Isaiah 3:18

In that day the Lord will take away the ornaments of shoes, and little moons,

Of shoes. Hebrew, "gold tissue," Psalm 44:14. This term occurs no where else, and many of these superfluous ornaments are not well known. But we may conclude that they are pernicious to a state, and hateful to God. (Calmet) --- Decorem....invitatorem libidinis scimus. (Tertullian, cult.)
