Strong's King James

(5) Now every woman having her head unveiled while praying or prophesying humiliates her head (her husband) because she's one and the same as them who are *shaved.

The F.O.G

[5] And when our sisters pray or prophesy with uncovered heads, they unintentionally diminish their dignity. In our society, it's as shocking as having their heads shaved—it communicates a rejection of their God-given identity and role.

The F.O.G Paraphrase

and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,
