I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.[a] 11 (B)And I adorned you with ornaments and (C)put bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck. 12 And I put a ring on your nose and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. 13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth.

  1. Isaiah 27:9 Septuagint and this is the blessing when I take away his sin

16 The Lord said:
(A)Because (B)the daughters of Zion are haughty
    and walk with outstretched necks,
    glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go,
    (C)tinkling with their feet,
17 therefore the Lord (D)will strike with a scab
    the heads of (E)the daughters of Zion,
    and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.

18 In that day the Lord will take away (F)the finery of the anklets, the (G)headbands, and the (H)crescents; 19 the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves; 20 the (I)headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets; 21 the signet rings and (J)nose rings; 22 the (K)festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; 23 the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.

24 Instead of (L)perfume there will be rottenness;
    and instead of a (M)belt, a rope;
and instead of (N)well-set hair, (O)baldness;
    and instead of a rich robe, a (P)skirt of sackcloth;
    and (Q)branding instead of beauty.
