Isaiah 3:17-26 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. the Lord will make the heads of the daughters of Zion bald, and the Lord will strip them of the locks of their hair.

18. In that day, the Lord will take away their decorative shoes,

19. and the little moons and chains, and the necklaces and bracelets, and the hats,

20. and the ornaments for their hair, and the anklets, and the touches of myrrh and little bottles of perfumes, and the earrings,

21. and the rings, and the jewels hanging on their foreheads,

22. and the continual changes in appearance, and the short skirts, and the fine linens and embroidered cloths,

23. and the mirrors, and scarves, and ribbons, and their sparse clothing.

24. And in place of a sweet fragrance, there will be stench. And in place of a belt, there will be a rope. And in place of stylish hair, there will be baldness. And in place of a blouse, there will be haircloth.

25. Likewise, your most handsome men will fall by the sword, and your strong men will fall in battle.

26. And her gates will grieve and mourn. And she will sit on the ground, desolate.
