The call to "shudder" suggests an impending judgment or disaster that should cause fear and trembling. In the context of Isaiah, this is a warning of the coming Assyrian invasion and the subsequent hardships. The term "ladies of leisure" indicates a lifestyle of luxury and complacency, which is often criticized in the Bible as it can lead to spiritual neglect (<a href="/amos/6.htm">Amos 6:1-6</a>). The call to shudder is a wake-up call to recognize the seriousness of their situation.<p><b>tremble, you daughters of complacency.</b><br>The repetition of "tremble" emphasizes the urgency and seriousness of the warning. "Daughters of complacency" highlights a generational issue of indifference and self-satisfaction. Complacency in the Bible is often associated with a false sense of security and neglect of God's commands (<a href="/zephaniah/1-12.htm">Zephaniah 1:12</a>). This phrase serves as a reminder that complacency can lead to spiritual and physical downfall, urging the people to repent and turn back to God.<p><b>Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.</b><br>This imagery of stripping and wearing sackcloth is a traditional expression of mourning and repentance in the ancient Near East. Sackcloth, a coarse material, was worn during times of grief or penitence (<a href="/jonah/3-5.htm">Jonah 3:5-6</a>). The act of stripping bare symbolizes vulnerability and the removal of earthly comforts, signifying a return to humility and dependence on God. This call to action is a prophetic gesture urging the people to acknowledge their sins and seek God's mercy before the impending judgment.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/c/complacent_women.htm">Complacent Women</a></b><br>These are the women of Judah who have become comfortable and self-satisfied, ignoring the spiritual and moral decay around them.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/d/daughters_of_ease.htm">Daughters of Ease</a></b><br>This term refers to women who live in luxury and comfort, oblivious to the impending judgment and the need for repentance.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>The prophet who delivers God's message, calling for repentance and warning of the consequences of complacency.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a></b><br>The southern kingdom of Israel, facing impending judgment due to its people's spiritual apathy and moral decline.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/s/sackcloth.htm">Sackcloth</a></b><br>A coarse material worn as a sign of mourning and repentance, symbolizing humility and the need for a change of heart.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_danger_of_complacency.htm">The Danger of Complacency</a></b><br>Complacency can lead to spiritual blindness and a false sense of security.
