13 The Lorde is here to commune of the matter, & standeth to iudge the people. 14 The Lorde shall enter into iudgement with the elders and princes of his people, and shall say to them: It is ye that haue burnt vp my vineyarde, the spoyle of the poore is in your houses. 15 What meane ye that ye bray as in a morter my people, and grinde the faces of the poore? saith the Lorde God of hoastes. 16 Moreouer the Lord hath said, seing the daughters of Sion are waxen proude, & walke with stretched foorth neckes, and wanton lokes, goyng and trippyng nicely, and tinckelyng with their feete: 17 Therfore shall the Lorde shaue the heades of the daughters of Sion, and shall discouer their filthinesse. 18 In that day shall the Lord take away the gorgiousnesse of the attire about their feete, & the caules, and the rounde tires after the fashion of the moone. 19 The sweete perfumes, and the bracelettes, and the mufflers, 20 The bonnettes, and the sloppes, and the head bandes, and the tablettes, and the earynges, 21 And rynges, and nose iewels: 22 The costly apparell, and the vayles, and the wimples, & the crispyng pinnes, 23 And the glasses, and the fine linnen, and the hoodes, and the lawnes. 24 And in steade of good smell there shalbe stincke, and in steade of their girdle a rent, and for well set heere there shalbe baldnesse, in steade of a stomacher a sacke cloth, & sunne burnyng for beautie. 25 Thy men shal perishe with the sword, and thy valiaunt souldiours in the battayle O Hierusalem. 26 And her gates shall mourne and bewayle: and she deyng desolate, shall syt vpon the grounde. Isaiah 3:13-26, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
