International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]
ı̄´lid : Eyes and eyelids in Hebrew are sometimes used synonymously, as in the parallelism of Proverbs 4:25 (compare Proverbs 6:4; Proverbs 30:13 ):
"Let thine eyes look right on,
And let thine eyelids look straight before thee."
(Compare Job 41:18; Psalm 11:4; Jeremiah 9:18 .) The alluring power of the wanton woman is conceived of as centered in her eyes ( Proverbs 6:25; Isaiah 3:16 ): "Neither let her take thee with her eyelids." Painting the eyelids was resorted to to intensify the beauty, antimony (which see) being used for darkening the lashes ( 2 Kings 9:30; Jeremiah 4:30; Ezekiel 23:40 ).
