God's Word Translation

Isaiah 3:16-26 God's Word Translation (GW)

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.

24. Instead of the smell of perfume, there will be the smell of decay.They will wear ropes instead of belts.They will have bald heads instead of beautiful hair.They will wear sackcloth instead of expensive clothes.Their beauty will be scarred.

25. ⌊Women,⌋ your warriors will die in combat.Your mighty men will die in battle.

26. The gates of Zion will cry and grieve,and Zion will sit on the ground, exhausted.
