The prophets also list them among the fine jewelry of women, and as a gift from God to Jerusalem. **Interpretation.** Ezekiel pictures God adorning Jerusalem with bracelets as His bride, and Isaiah lists them among the finery that will be taken away. The tradition reads this as showing both God's love and the danger of pride in wealth. ### Examples - And I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.
