15. What do you mean by crushing my people,by grinding the face of the poor?”declares the Lord God of hosts.
16. The Lord said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughtyand walk with outstretched necks,glancing wantonly with their eyes,mincing along as they go, tinkling with their feet,
17. therefore the Lord will strike with a scabthe heads of the daughters of Zion,and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.
18. In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents;
19. the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves;
20. the headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets;
21. the signet rings and nose rings;
22. the festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags;
23. the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.
24. Instead of perfume there will be rottenness;and instead of a belt, a rope;and instead of well-set hair, baldness;and instead of a rich robe, a skirt of sackcloth;and branding instead of beauty.
25. Your men shall fall by the swordand your mighty men in battle.
