¹⁶And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with stretched out necks, and wanton glances of their eyes, and made a noise as they walked with their feet and moved in a set pace:

¹⁷The Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Sion, and the Lord will discover their hair.

¹⁸In that day the Lord will take away the ornaments of shoes, and little moons,

¹⁹And chains and necklaces, and bracelets, and bonnets,

²⁰And bodkins, and ornaments of the legs, and tablets, and sweet balls, and earrings,

²¹And rings, and jewels hanging on the forehead,

²²And changes of apparel, and short cloaks, and fine linen, and crisping pins,

²³And lookingglasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils.

²⁴And instead of a sweet smell there shall be stench, and instead of a girdle, a cord, and instead of curled hair, baldness, and instead of a stomacher, haircloth.

²⁵Thy fairest men also shall fall by the sword, and thy valiant ones in battle.

²⁶And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall sit desolate on the ground.
