What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the faces of the poor?" Says the Lord God of hosts.
16
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,
22
the festal apparel, and the mantles; The outer garments, the purses,
23
and the mirrors; The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.
24
And so it shall be: Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench; Instead of a sash, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, baldness; Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.
25
Your men shall fall by the sword, And your mighty in the war.
