16. The Lord also says:Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, walking with heads held highand seductive eyes,going along with prancing steps,jingling their ankle bracelets,
17. the Lord will put scabs on the headsof the daughters of Zion,and the Lord will shave their foreheads bare.
18. On that day the Lord will strip their finery: ankle bracelets, headbands, crescents,
19. pendants, bracelets, veils,
20. headdresses, ankle jewelry, sashes, perfume bottles, amulets,
21. signet rings, nose rings,
22. festive robes, capes, cloaks, purses,
23. garments, linen clothes, turbans, and veils.
24. Instead of perfume there will be a stench;instead of a belt, a rope;instead of beautifully styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothes, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding.
25. Your men will fall by the sword,your warriors in battle.
26. Then her gates will lament and mourn;deserted, she will sit on the ground.
