Isaiah 3:16-26
16Moreover, the Lord said, “Because the 1daughters of Zion are proud And walk with 2heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And tinkle the bangles on their feet,17Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And the Lord will make their foreheads bare.” 18In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, 3crescent ornaments, 19dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, 204headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets, 215finger rings, 6nose rings, 22festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses, 23hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans and veils.24Now it will come about that instead of 7sweet 8perfume there will be putrefaction; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of 9well-set hair, a 10plucked-out scalp; Instead of fine clothes, a 11donning of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.25Your men will 12fall by the sword And your 13mighty ones in battle.26And her 1415gates will lament and mourn, And deserted she will 16sit on the ground.
