Isaiah 3:16-Isaiah 4:1 - The Pride Of Jerusalem's Women

¹⁶
Moreover, the Lord said, “Because the daughters of Zion are proud
And walk with outstretched necks and seductive (flirtatious, alluring) eyes,
And trip along with mincing steps and an affected gait
And walk with jingling anklets on their feet,
¹⁷
Therefore the Lord will afflict the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion with scabs [making them bald],
And the Lord will expose their foreheads (send them into captivity).”

¹⁸ In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, [braided] caps, crescent [head] ornaments, ¹⁹ dangling earrings, bracelets, and the hanging veils and scarves, ²⁰ head wraps (turbans), [short, jingling] ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets (charms), ²¹ signet [finger] rings, nose rings, ²² festival robes, outer tunics, shawls, handbags, ²³ hand mirrors, [fine linen] undergarments, headbands, and veils [covering the entire body].

²⁴
Now it will come to pass that instead of the sweet fragrance of spices there will be [the stench of] rottenness;
Instead of a belt, a rope;
Instead of well-set hair, baldness;
Instead of fine clothes, a robe of sackcloth;
And branding [of captives by the scorching heat] instead of beauty.
²⁵
Your men will fall by the sword
And your mighty men in battle.
²⁶
And Jerusalem’s gates will lament (cry out in grief) and mourn [as those who wail for the dead];
And she, being ruined and desolate, will sit upon the ground.

¹ And in that day seven women will take hold of one man, saying, “We will eat our own food and wear [and provide] our own clothes; only let us be called by your name; take away our shame [of being unmarried].”
