Do hookers and promiscuous women wear such biblical makeup and garments?
Sirach 26:9-10. "The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids. If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty."
"For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness. Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach." (Sirach 42:13-14)

I think one can agree that hookers do give haughty looks to potential customers, generally wear too much eye makeup, and can be identified by what they wear.... even if they are not "biblical" garments. Why use the name Sirach, which most Christians do not use? It is known as Ecclesiasticus (not to be confused with Ecclesiastes) in the Catholic Bible.

Ah, I have a q. what about all male prostitutes and their ungodliness? As a Christian you can surely answeer that one!

If you give any creditability to Sirach (whoever that is) you can believe anything you want. Anyway, all I see in those words is common sense....for prudish people of that age.

and holy men by their hair and beards that have never been cut.
Dude...it is the 21st Century...not 1AD
we don't run around in sack cloth and leather sandles and ride donkeys.
Eye makeup does not make a women a hooker.

"Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes"
Proverbs 6:25
Oh, the ensnaring eyelashes! One fluttter and I'm trapped!
No of course they don't dress and look like that...
We wouldn't encourage that sort of thing in our children, would we? How could it possibly come about?
Any resemblance to those Slutz, sorry, Bratz, dolls is, umm, purely coincidental...
