Isaiah 3:16-26 ▼

16 “Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, || And they walk stretching out the neck, || And deceiving [with] the eyes, || They go walking and mincing, || And they make a jingling with their feet,

17 The Lord has also scabbed || The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, || And YHWH exposes their simplicity.

18 In that day the Lord turns aside || The beauty of the jingling ornaments, || And of the embroidered works, || And of the crescents,

19 Of the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils,

20 Of the headdresses, and the ornaments of the legs, || And of the bands, || And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets,

21 Of the seals, and of the nose-rings,

22 Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, || And of the coverings, and of the purses,

23 Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, || And of the hoods, and of the veils,

24 And it has been, instead of spice is muck, || And instead of a girdle, a rope, || And instead of curled work, baldness, || And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.

25 For instead of glory, your men fall by sword, || And your might in battle.

26 And her openings have lamented and mourned, || Indeed, she has been emptied, she sits on the earth!”
