10. Tell the good people who do what is right that good things will happen to them. They will receive a reward for what they do.
11. But it will be very bad for wicked people, because they, too, will get what they deserve. They will get what they did to others.
12. Even children will defeat my people, and women will rule over them. My people, your guides lead you the wrong way, and they destroy the path you should follow.
13. Look, the Lord is standing to judge his people.
14. The Lord is ready to present his case against the elders and leaders of his people. He says, “You people have burned the vineyard, and what you stole from the poor is still in your houses.
15. What gives you the right to hurt my people? What gives you the right to push the faces of the poor into the dirt?” The Lord GOD All-Powerful said this.
16. The Lord says, “The women in Zion have become very proud. They walk around with their heads in the air, acting like they are better than other people. They flirt with their eyes and make tinkling sounds with their ankle bracelets as they take their quick little steps.”
17. The Lord will put sores on the heads of those women in Zion. The Lord will make their heads bald.
18. Then the Lord will take away everything they are proud of: the beautiful ankle bracelets, the necklaces that look like the sun and the moon,
19. the earrings, bracelets, and veils,
20. the scarves, the ankle chains, the cloth belts worn around their waists, the bottles of perfume, the charms,
21. the signet rings, and the nose rings,
22. the fine dresses, robes, veils, and purses,
23. the mirrors, linen dresses, turbans, and long shawls.
