God's Word Translation

Isaiah 3:14-23 God's Word Translation (GW)

14. The Lord presents his case to the respected leadersand the officials of his people:“You have burned down the vineyard!Your houses are filled with goods stolen from the poor.”

15. The Almighty Lord of Armies asks,“How can you crush my peopleand grind the faces of the poor ⌊into the ground⌋?”

16. The Lord adds,“The women of Zion are arrogant.They walk with their noses in the air,making seductive glances,taking short little steps,jingling the ankle bracelets on their feet.”

17. The Lord will cause sores ⌊to appear⌋on the heads of the women of Zion,and the Lord will make their foreheads bare.

18. On that day the Lord will take away their fine things: jingling anklets, headbands, crescent-shaped necklaces,

19. pendants, bracelets, scarfs,

20. hats, ankle bracelets, blouses, perfume boxes, charms,

21. signet rings, nose rings,

22. fine robes, coats, shawls, purses,

23. mirrors, underwear, headdresses, and veils.
