Moreover, the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And jingle the anklets on their feet,

Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

The Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And the LORD will make their foreheads bare."

In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

dangling earrings, bracelets, veils,

The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets,

The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

finger rings, nose rings,

The rings, and nose jewels,

festive robes, outer garments, shawls, purses,

The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

papyrus garments, undergarments, headbands, and veils.

The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

Your men will fall by the sword And your mighty ones in battle.

Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

And her gates will lament and mourn, And she will sit deserted on the ground.

And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

For seven women will take hold of one man on that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our disgrace!"

And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
