10. Tell the righteous “Good!”For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11. Woe to the wicked!Disaster is upon them;for the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him.
12. As for my people, children are their oppressors,and women rule over them.My people, those who lead you cause you to err,and destroy the way of your paths.
13. The Lord stands up to contend,and stands to judge the peoples.
14. The Lord will enter into judgement with the elders of his people,and their leaders:“It is you who have eaten up the vineyard.The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15. What do you mean that you crush my people,and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, the Lord of Hosts.
16. Moreover the Lord said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant,and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes,walking to trip as they go,jingling ornaments on their feet;
17. therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion,and the Lord will make their scalps bald.”
18. In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
19. the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
20. the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,
21. the signet rings, the nose rings,
22. the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
23. the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
24. It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness;instead of a belt, a rope;instead of well set hair, baldness;instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth;and branding instead of beauty.
