14. The Lord enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people, "It is you who have devoured the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15. "What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the face of the poor?" Declares the Lord God of hosts.
16. Moreover, the Lord said, "Because the daughters of Zion are proud And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And tinkle the bangles on their feet,
17. Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And the Lord will make their foreheads bare."
18. In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments,
19. dangling earrings, bracelets, veils,
20. headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets,
21. finger rings, nose rings,
22. festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses,
23. hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans and veils.
24. Now it will come about that instead of sweet perfume there will be putrefaction; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, a plucked-out scalp; Instead of fine clothes, a donning of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.
25. Your men will fall by the sword And your mighty ones in battle.
26. And her gates will lament and mourn, And deserted she will sit on the ground.
