Adam Clarke
Bind them on thee, as a bride doeth "Bind them about thee, as a bride her jewels" - The end of the sentence is manifestly imperfect. Does a bride bind her children, or her new subjects, about her? Sion clothes herself with her children, as a bride clothes herself, - with what? some other thing certainly. The Septuagint help us out in this difficulty, and supply the lost word: ̔ · as a bride her ornaments. kichleyha callah , or kecallah keleyha . The great similitude of the two words has occasioned the omission of one of them. See Isaiah 61:10.
