...while he displayed the vast riches of his kingdom and the beautiful glory of his majesty.
וְהָיָ֗ה כִּֽי־יְבַצַּ֤ע א:דני אֶת־כָּל־מַֽעֲשֵׂ֔הוּ בְּהַ֥ר צִיּ֖וֹן וּבִירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם אֶפְקֹ֗ד עַל־פְּרִי־גֹ֙דֶל֙ לְבַ֣ב מֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֔וּר וְעַל־תִּפְאֶ֖רֶת ר֥וּם עֵינָֽיו׃
But when my Lord has carried out all his purpose on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, He will punish the majestic pride and self-proclaimed beauty of the king of Assyria.
וְהָיְתָ֤ה בָבֶל֙ צְבִ֣י מַמְלָכ֔וֹת תִּפְאֶ֖רֶת גְּא֣וֹן כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים כְּמַהְפֵּכַ֣ת א:להִים אֶת־סְדֹ֖ם וְאֶת־עֲמֹרָה׃
And Babylon, glory of kingdoms,
beautiful genious of the Chaldeans,
Shall become like Sodom and Gomorrah
Overturned by God.
An intelligent person is slow to anger; shines beauty in forgiveness of iniquity.
The Almighty, in His wrath has shamed the Daughter of Zion, has cast down from heaven the earthly beauty of Israel, has not remembered His footing on His day of wrath.
בַּעֲלֹ֣ץ צַ֭דִּיקִים רַבָּ֣ה תִפְאָ֑רֶת...
But when the wicked rise up men make themselves scarce.
וַתֹּ֜אמֶר הָלֹ֧ךְ אֵלֵ֣ךְ עִמָּ֗ךְ אֶ֚פֶס כִּי֩ לֹ֨א תִֽהְיֶ֜ה תִּֽפְאַרְתְּךָ֗ עַל־הַדֶּ֙רֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אַתָּ֣ה הוֹלֵ֔ךְ כִּ֣י בְֽיַד־אִשָּׁ֔ה יִמְכֹּ֥ר יי אֶת־סִֽיסְרָ֑א וַתָּ֧קָם דְּבוֹרָ֛ה וַתֵּ֥לֶך עִם־בָּרָ֖ק קֶֽדְשָׁה׃
“Very well, I will go with you,” she answered. “However, there will be no beauty for you in the course you are taking, for then the LORD will deliver Sisra into the hands of a woman.” So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh.
Your head shall be adorned with a grace,
crowned in beauty.”
תִּפְאֶ֣רֶת בַּחוּרִ֣ים כֹּחָ֑ם וַהֲדַ֖ר זְקֵנִ֣ים שֵׂיבָֽה׃
The beauty of the youth is their strength;
The majesty of the old is their experience.
Life experience crown of beauty, it is attained by means of righteousness.
וְהָיִ֛יתְ עֲטֶ֥רֶת תִּפְאֶ֖רֶת בְּיַד יי וּצְנִ֥יף מְלוּכָ֖ה בְּכַף־אֱלֹקָֽיִךְ׃
You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal garment in the palm of your God.
And for Aaron’s sons also you shall make tunics, and make sashes for them, and make turbans for them, for honor and beauty.
And you shall make sacred garments for Aaron, your brother, for honor and beauty.
Grandchildren are the crown of the elders,
And the beauty of children are the parents.
וְעַתָּ֣ה אֱלֹקֵ֔ינוּ מוֹדִ֥ים אֲנַ֖חְנוּ לָ֑ךְ וּֽמְהַֽלְלִ֖ים לְשֵׁ֥ם תִּפְאַרְתֶּֽךָ׃
Now, God, we praise You and extol Your beautiful Name of glory.
עוּרִי עוּרִי לִבְשִׁי עֻזֵּךְ צִיּוֹן לִבְשִׁי בִּגְדֵי תִפְאַרְתֵּךְ יְרוּשָׁלִַם עִיר הַקֹּדֶשׁ...
Awake, awake, O Zion!
Clothe yourself in splendor;
Put on your robes of majestic beauty,
Jerusalem, holy city...!
In that day, the radiance of the Lord
Will be swift and in honor,
And the fruits of the land will bring ingenious beauty, to the survivors of Israel.
