Isaiah 3:16-26

16Moreover the Lord says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with outstretched necks And wanton eyes, Walking and mincing as they go, Making a jingling with their feet,

17Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, And the Lord will uncover their secret parts.”

18In that day the Lord will take away the finery: The jingling anklets, the scarves, and the crescents;

19The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;

20The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands; The perfume boxes, the charms,

21and the rings; The nose jewels,

22the festal apparel, and the mantles; The outer garments, the purses,

23and the mirrors; The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.

24And so it shall be: Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench; Instead of a sash, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, baldness; Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.

25Your men shall fall by the sword, And your mighty in the war.

26Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she being desolate shall sit on the ground.
