13. Yahweh takes his stand to conduct a legal case and takes his stand to judge the peoples.
14. Yahweh enters into judgment with the elders of his people and its princes. “And you! You have devoured the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses!
15. Why do you crush my people and grind the face of the poor?” declares the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
16. 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,
17. the Lord will make the heads of the daughters of Zion scabby, and Yahweh will lay their foreheads bare.”
18. In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets and the headbands and the crescent necklaces,
19. the pendants and the bracelets and the veils,
20. the headdresses and the armlets and the sashes, and the perfume boxes and the amulets,
21. the signet rings and the nose rings,
22. the festal robes and the mantles, and the cloaks and the handbags,
23. and the mirrors and the linen garments, and the turbans and the wraps.
24. And this shall happen: There will be a stench instead of perfume, and a rope instead of a sash, and baldness instead of a well-set hairdo, and a clothing wrap of sackcloth instead of a rich robe, branding instead of beauty.
25. Your men shall fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.
26. And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall be banished; she shall sit upon the ground.
