Belt, girdle, or waistband; a garment symbolizing strength and military readiness
This term for a belt or girdle appears in Job 12:21, where God 'loosens the belt of the mighty,' making them weak and defenseless. In ancient warfare, the girdle secured weapons and garments, enabling quick movement and readiness for battle. To loosen someone's belt was to disarm and humiliate them, removing their capacity for action. The image captures how God can instantly reverse the fortunes of the powerful, turning their strength to weakness by a simple ungirding.

1. sense 1 — A military belt or girdle whose removal symbolizes the loss of power and readiness. Job 12:21 uses the loosening of the mighty's belt to illustrate God's sovereign ability to weaken the strong. The belt secured weapons and clothing for battle, so ungirding represents disarmament and vulnerability. This single image captures the reversal from strength to helplessness at God's decree. 1×
