Isaiah 3:16-26

16Moreover, the Lord said, “Because the daughters of Zion are proud And walk with outstretched necks and seductive (flirtatious, alluring) eyes, And trip along with mincing steps and an affected gait And walk with jingling anklets on their feet,

17Therefore the Lord will afflict the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion with scabs [making them bald], And the Lord will expose their foreheads (send them into captivity).”

18In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, [braided] caps, crescent [head] ornaments,

19dangling earrings, bracelets, and the hanging veils and scarves,

20head wraps (turbans), [short, jingling] ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets (charms),

21signet [finger] rings, nose rings,

22festival robes, outer tunics, shawls, handbags,

23hand mirrors, [fine linen] undergarments, headbands, and veils [covering the entire body].

24Now it will come to pass that instead of the sweet fragrance of spices there will be [the stench of] rottenness; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, baldness; Instead of fine clothes, a robe of sackcloth; And branding [of captives by the scorching heat] instead of beauty.

25Your men will fall by the sword And your mighty men in battle.

26And Jerusalem’s gates will lament (cry out in grief) and mourn [as those who wail for the dead]; And she, being ruined and desolate, will sit upon the ground.
