Isaiah 3:16–4:1

¹⁶And Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-out neck and wanton eyes, and go along mincing, and making a tinkling with their feet; ¹⁷therefore the Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts. ¹⁸In that day the Lord will take away the ornament of anklets, and the little suns and crescents, ¹⁹the pearl-drops, and the bracelets, and the veils, ²⁰the head-dresses, and the stepping chains, and the girdles, and the scent-boxes, and the amulets; ²¹the finger-rings, and the nose-rings; ²²the festival-robes, and the tunics, and the mantles, and the wallets; ²³the mirrors, and the fine linen bodices, and the turbans, and the flowing veils. ²⁴And it shall come to pass, instead of perfume there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a robe of display, a girding of sackcloth; brand instead of beauty. ²⁵Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the fight; ²⁶and her gates shall lament and mourn; and, stripped, she shall sit upon the ground.

Chapter 4

¹And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, Our own bread will we eat, and with our own garments will we be clothed; only let us be called by thy name; —take away our reproach!
