Order of Covering:
FATHER, SON, MAN, WOMAN, CHILD
1 Corinthians 11 (KJV)
1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all
things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is
Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered,
dishonoureth his head.
5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head
uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were
shaven.
6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but
if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as
he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman
for the man.
10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head
because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither
the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by
the woman; but all things of God.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto
God uncovered?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have
long hair, it is a shame unto him?
15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for
her hair is given her for a covering.
16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such
custom, neither the churches of God.

Ezekiel 16:8-13 (KJV)
8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold,
thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy
nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith
the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.
9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away
thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee
with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee
with silk.
11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets
upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine
ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy
raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine
flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst
prosper into a kingdom.
Isaiah 3:12-26 (KJV)
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women
rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and
destroy the way of thy paths.
13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to
judge the people.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the
ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the
vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind
the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.
16 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters
of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes,
walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the
crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will
discover their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their
tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires
like the moon,
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the
headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the
wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the
vails.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell
there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set
hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning
instead of beauty.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the
war.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being
desolate shall sit upon the ground.

earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
