Judgment on the Haughty Women of Zion

16

`Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, And they walk stretching out the neck, And deceiving with the eyes, Walking and mincing they go, And with their feet they make a tinkling,

17

The Lord also hath scabbed The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, And Jehovah their simplicity exposeth.

18

In that day doth the Lord turn aside The beauty of the tinkling ornaments, And of the embroidered works, And of the round tires like moons,

19

Of the drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

20

Of the bonnets, 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 vails,

24

And it hath 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, thy men by sword do fall, And thy might in battle.

26

And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath been emptied, on the earth she sitteth!
