New Testament

Isaiah 3:17-26 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

17. The Lord shall cover the scalps of Zion’s daughters with scabs,and the Lord shall lay bare their heads.

18. On that day the Lord will do away with the finery of the anklets, sunbursts, and crescents;

19. the pendants, bracelets, and veils;

20. the headdresses, bangles, cinctures, perfume boxes, and amulets;

21. the signet rings, and the nose rings;

22. the court dresses, wraps, cloaks, and purses;

23. the lace gowns, linen tunics, turbans, and shawls.

24. Instead of perfume there will be stench,instead of a girdle, a rope,And instead of elaborate coiffure, baldness;instead of a rich gown, a sackcloth skirt.Then, instead of beauty, shame.

25. Your men will fall by the sword,and your champions, in war;

26. Her gates will lament and mourn,as the city sits desolate on the ground.
