14
The Lord will enter into judgment With the elders of His people And His princes: "For you have eaten up the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

Moreover 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,
17
Therefore 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."
18
In that day the Lord will take away the finery: The jingling anklets, the scarves, and the crescents;
19
The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
20
The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands; The perfume boxes, the charms,
21
and the rings; The nose jewels,
