7. He will lift up his voice on that day, saying, “I will not be a healer; in my house there is no bread and there is no cloak. You shall not make me the leader of the people!”
8. For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen because their speech and their deeds are against Yahweh, defying the eyes of his glory.
9. The look on their faces testifies against them and they declare their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have dealt out evil to themselves.
10. Tell the innocent that it is good for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11. Woe to the wicked! It is bad! For what is done by his hands will be done to him.
12. My people—children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, your leaders are misleading you, and they confuse the course of your paths.
13. Yahweh takes his stand to conduct a legal case and takes his stand to judge the peoples.
14. Yahweh enters into judgment with the elders of his people and its princes. “And you! You have devoured the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses!
15. Why do you crush my people and grind the face of the poor?” declares the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
16. And Yahweh said: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and they walk with outstretched neck, and they give flirting glances with their eyes, mincing along as they go, and with their feet they rattle their bangles,
17. the Lord will make the heads of the daughters of Zion scabby, and Yahweh will lay their foreheads bare.”
18. In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets and the headbands and the crescent necklaces,
19. the pendants and the bracelets and the veils,
20. the headdresses and the armlets and the sashes, and the perfume boxes and the amulets,
21. the signet rings and the nose rings,
22. the festal robes and the mantles, and the cloaks and the handbags,
23. and the mirrors and the linen garments, and the turbans and the wraps.
24. And this shall happen: There will be a stench instead of perfume, and a rope instead of a sash, and baldness instead of a well-set hairdo, and a clothing wrap of sackcloth instead of a rich robe, branding instead of beauty.
