Exegesis
The construct phrase kelei tif’arteikh {כְּלֵ֥י תִפְאַרְתֵּֽךְ | kə-lê tif-ʾar-teḵ} ‘vessels of your beauty’ underscores the humiliating removal of valued adornments. The sequential vav-prefixed clauses present a forceful progression that the English translation mirrors by maintaining the original order and intensifying the portrayal of disgrace.
