Yeshayah 3:14-25 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. Hashem will enter into mishpat with the Ziknei Amo (Elders of His People), and the sarim thereof; for ye have eaten up the kerem (vineyard); the plunder of the oni is in your batim (houses).

15. What mean ye that ye crush Ami, and grind the faces of the aniyim? saith Adonoi Hashem Tzva'os.

16. Moreover Hashem saith, Because the Banot Tziyon are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and winking [flirtatious] eyes, walking and tripping along as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet [ankle rings];

17. Therefore Adonoi will strike with a scab the kodkod (top of the head) Banot Tziyon, and Hashem will lay bare their nakedness.

18. In Yom Hahu, Adonoi will take away the fine show of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their headbands, and their crescent necklaces,

19. The earrings, and the bracelets, and the veils,

20. The diadems, and the ankle chains, and the girdles, and the perfume bottles, and the lechashim (amulets),

21. The taba'ot (rings), and nose rings,

22. The machalatzot (festal robes), and the mantles, and the cloaks, and the charitim (money purses),

23. The hand mirrors, and the sedinim (linen coverings), and the tzenifot (turbans), and the veils.

24. And it shall come to pass, that instead of fragrance there shall be stench; and instead of a sash, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich cloak, a wrapping of sak (sackcloth); and branding instead of yofi (beauty).

25. Thy men shall fall by the cherev, and thy gevurah in milchamah.
