7. he shall swear in that day, saying, “I am not a healer, for in my house is neither bread nor garment; do not make me a chief of the people.”
8. For Yerushalayim has stumbled, and Yehuḏah has fallen, because their tongue and their doings are against יהוה, to provoke the eyes of His esteem.
9. The look on their faces witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Seḏom; they do not hide it. Woe to their being! For they have brought evil upon themselves.
10. “Say to the righteous it is well, for they eat the fruit of their doings.
11. “Woe to the wrong – evil! For the reward of his hand is done to him.
12. “My people! Youths exert pressure on them, and women rule over them. O My people! Your leaders lead you astray, and swallow the way of your paths.”
13. יהוה shall stand up to plead, and is standing to judge the peoples.
14. יהוה enters into judgment with the elders of His people and its heads, “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard, the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15. “What do you mean by crushing My people and grinding the faces of the poor?” declares the Master, יהוה of hosts.
16. And יהוה says, “Because the daughters of Tsiyon are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and seductive eyes, walking and mincing as they go, making a jingling with their feet,
17. therefore יהוה shall smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Tsiyon, and יהוה expose their nakedness.”
18. In that day יהוה takes away the finery of the anklets, and the headbands, and the crescents,
19. the pendants, the bracelets and the veils,
20. the headdresses, and the leg ornaments, and the sashes, and the perfume bottles, and the amulets,
21. the rings, and the nose jewels,
22. the costly robes, and the cloaks, and the shawls, and the purses,
23. the mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the large veils.
24. And it shall be: Instead of a sweet fragrance, a smell of decay; and instead of a belt, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a festal robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of loveliness.
