Yahweh Will Judge Zion’s Daughters

16Moreover, Yahweh said, “Because the adaughters of Zion are haughty

And walk with outstretched necks and seductive eyes,

And go along with mincing steps

And tinkle the bangles on their feet,

17Therefore the Lord will smite the skull of the daughters of Zion with scabs,

And Yahweh will make their foreheads bare.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

The Lord said:

Because the daughters of Zion are haughty

and walk with outstretched necks,

glancing wantonly with their eyes,

mincing along as they go,

tinkling with their feet,

therefore the Lord will strike with a scab

the heads of the daughters of Zion,

and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The Lord says,

“The women of Zion are haughty,

walking along with outstretched necks,

flirting with their eyes,

strutting along with swaying hips,

with ornaments jingling on their ankles.

Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;

the Lord will make their scalps bald.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The Lord also says:

Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,

walking with heads held high

and seductive eyes,

prancing along,

jingling their ankle bracelets,

the Lord will put scabs on the heads

of the daughters of Zion,

and the Lord will shave their foreheads bare.

NLTNew Living Translation

The Lord says, “Beautiful Zion is haughty:

craning her elegant neck,

flirting with her eyes,

walking with dainty steps,

tinkling her ankle bracelets.

So the Lord will send scabs on her head;

the Lord will make beautiful Zion bald.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And Yahweh said: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,

and they walk with outstretched neck,

and they give flirting glances with their eyes,

mincing along as they go,

and with their feet they rattle their bangles,

the Lord will make the heads of the daughters of Zion scabby,

and Yahweh will lay their foreheads bare.”

KJV 1900King James Version

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:

Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,

And the Lord will discover their secret parts.
