Moreouer the Lord saith; Because the daughters of Zion are hautie, and walke with stretched forth necks, and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they goe, and making a tinkeling with their feet:

Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crowne of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discouer their secret parts.

In that day the Lord will take away the brauery of their tinckling ornaments about their feete, and their caules, and their round tyres like the Moone.

The chaines, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legges, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earerings,

The rings, and nose-iewels,

The changeable sutes of apparell, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pinnes,

The glasses, and the fine linnen, and the hoods, and the vailes.

And it shall come to passe, that in steade of sweete smell, there shall bee stinke; and in stead of a girdle, a rent; and in stead of well set haire, baldnesse; and in stead of a stomacher, a girding of sackecloth; and burning, in stead of beautie.

Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mightie in the warre.

And her gates shall lament and mourne; and she being desolate, shall sit vpon the ground.

And in that day seuen women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eate our owne bread, & weare our owne apparell: onely let vs be called by thy name, to take away our reproch.
