Topical Encyclopedia Crisping-pins are mentioned in the Bible in the context of a list of items associated with the adornment and vanity of the women of Zion. The term appears in Isaiah 3:22, where the prophet Isaiah delivers a message of judgment against the daughters of Zion for their haughtiness and ostentatious display of wealth and beauty. The Berean Standard Bible translates this passage as follows:Isaiah 3:18-23 : "In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents; the pendants, bracelets, and veils; the headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; the perfume bottles and charms; the signet rings and nose rings; the festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses; and the mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls." The term "crisping-pins" is traditionally understood to refer to items used for curling or styling hair. In the ancient Near Eastern context, hair was often an important aspect of personal appearance, and various tools and accessories were employed to achieve desired styles. The use of such items is indicative of a focus on external beauty and personal adornment, which Isaiah criticizes as part of a broader condemnation of pride and materialism. The cultural and historical background of Isaiah's prophecy suggests that the women of Zion were emulating the luxurious and extravagant fashions of surrounding nations, which often included elaborate hairstyles and the use of jewelry and cosmetics. This behavior is portrayed as a departure from the modesty and humility expected of God's people. In the broader biblical narrative, the emphasis on inner beauty and godly character is a recurring theme. The New Testament echoes this sentiment in passages such as 1 Peter 3:3-4 , which advises women: "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes, but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight." The mention of crisping-pins in Isaiah serves as a reminder of the biblical call to prioritize spiritual virtues over external appearances. It underscores the importance of humility and the dangers of vanity, urging believers to seek beauty that reflects the character of God rather than the fleeting standards of the world.
