17. So I will put sores on the heads of Zion's women. And I will remove the hair from their heads."
18. At that time the Lord will take away the beautiful things they wear. He will take away their decorations, headbands and moon-shaped necklaces.
19. He'll take away their earrings, bracelets and veils.
20. He'll remove their headdresses, ankle chains and belts. He'll take away their perfume bottles and charms.
21. He'll remove the rings they wear on their fingers and in their noses.
22. He'll take away their fine robes and their capes and coats. He'll take away their purses
23. and mirrors. And he'll take away their linen clothes, turbans and shawls.
24. Instead of smelling sweet, the women will smell bad. Instead of wearing belts, they will wear ropes. Instead of having beautiful hair, they won't have any hair at all. Instead of wearing fine clothes, they'll wear black clothes to show how sad they are. Instead of being beautiful, they'll have the brands of slaves on their bodies.
25. Jerusalem , your men will be killed with swords. Your soldiers will die in battle.
