13 Jehovah stood up to contend and he stood to judge the peoples. 14 Jehovah will go into judgment with the old men of his people and his chiefs: and ye burnt up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. 15 Why will ye crush my people and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord Jehovah of armies. 16 And Jehovah will say, Because the daughters of Zion were lifted up, and they will go extending the neck and ogling their eyes, going and tripping their going, and binding back their feet: 17 And Jehovah made bald the crown of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah opened the redundance. 18 In that day Jehovah will turn away the ornament of the ankle bands, and the inter-weavings, and the crescents, 19 The drops, and the chains, and the veils, 20 The head-dresses and the step chains, and the girdles, and the houses of the soul, and the amulets. 21 The signet rings and the rings of the nose. 22 The costly garments and the cloaks, and the mantles, and the caskets. 23 The mirrors and the shirts and the turbans and the veils. 24 And it was instead of a sweet smell there shall be rottenness, and instead of a girdle, a rope, and instead of turned work, baldness, and instead of a variegated garment, a girding of sackcloth a brand instead of beauty. 25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy strength in the war. 26 And her entrances sighed and mourned; and being clean, she shall sit upon the earth.
