Because haughty are the daughters of Zion, And they walk with neck thrown back, and wanton eyes, - Tripping along as they go, And with their feet, making, a tinkling sound,

Therefore will My Lord, smite with leprosy the crown of hair of the daughters of Zion, - And, as for Yahweh, their shame, will he lay bare!

In that day, will My Lord remove the finery - of the anklets, and the little suns and the little moons;

the pendants and the bracelets and the veils;

the chaplets and the armlets and the girdles, and the scent-cases, and the amulets;

the rings and the nose-jewels;

the robes, and the over-tunics, and the cloaks and the purses;

and the mirrors and the linen wraps, and the tiaras and the cloaks.

And it shall come to pass - That instead of fragrance, a putrid odour, shall be, And instead of a girdle, an encircling rope, And instead of braided hair, baldness, And instead of a festal robe, a girding of sackcloth, Branding instead of beauty:

Thy males, by the sword shall fall, - And, thy mighty men, by the war;

And her gates shall mourn and lament, - And forsaken, on the ground, shah she sit.

And seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, Our own bread, will we eat, And our own apparel, will we wear, - Only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
