¹⁴ The sinners^(A) in Zion are terrified;
    trembling^(B) grips the godless:
“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?^(C)
    Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”

⁸ Daughter Zion^(A) is left^(B)
    like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut^(C) in a cucumber field,
    like a city under siege.

¹⁶ The Lord says,
    “The women of Zion^(A) are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,^(B)
    flirting with their eyes,
strutting along with swaying hips,
    with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
¹⁷ Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;
    the Lord will make their scalps bald.^(C)”

²⁴ Instead of fragrance^(M) there will be a stench;^(N)
    instead of a sash,^(O) a rope;
instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;^(P)
    instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;^(Q)
    instead of beauty,^(R) branding.^(S)
25 Your men will fall by the sword,^(T)
    your warriors in battle.^(U)
26 The gates^(V) of Zion will lament and mourn;^(W)
    destitute,^(X) she will sit on the ground.^(Y)

“My people who live in Zion,^(A)
    do not be afraid^(B) of the Assyrians,
who beat^(C) you with a rod^(D)
    and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.

¹⁴ But Zion^(A) said, “The Lord has forsaken^(B) me,
    the Lord has forgotten me.”

² Shake off your dust;^(A)
    rise up,^(B) sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains on your neck,^(C)
    Daughter Zion,^(D) now a captive.

¹⁰ Your sacred cities^(A) have become a wasteland;
    even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation.^(B)
