13. The Lord takes his place in court. He stands up to judge the people.
14. He judges the elders and leaders of his people. He says to them, "My people are like a vineyard. You have destroyed them. The things you have taken from poor people are in your houses.
15. What do you mean by crushing my people? Why are you grinding the faces of the poor into the dirt?" announces the Lord. He is the Lord who rules over all.
16. The Lord continues, "The women in Zion are very proud. They walk along with their noses in the air. They tease men with their eyes. They walk with quick, short steps. Little chains jingle on their ankles.
17. So I will put sores on the heads of Zion's women. And I will remove the hair from their heads."
18. At that time the Lord will take away the beautiful things they wear. He will take away their decorations, headbands and moon-shaped necklaces.
19. He'll take away their earrings, bracelets and veils.
20. He'll remove their headdresses, ankle chains and belts. He'll take away their perfume bottles and charms.
21. He'll remove the rings they wear on their fingers and in their noses.
