KJV with Strongs
(4) Every man praying or prophesying having something on his head humiliates his head.
The F.O.G
[4] When our men pray or share prophetic messages with covered heads, they're inadvertently dishonoring the Messiah. In our culture, it's like trying to serve two masters—you can't represent divine authority while symbolically submitting to another power.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,
