7 For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on (A)the bare rock; (B)she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. 8 To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. 9 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! (C)I also will make the pile great. 10 Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices,[a] and let the bones be burned up. 11 Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, (D)that its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed. 12 (E)She has wearied herself with toil;[b] its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion! 13 On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, (F)you shall not be cleansed anymore till (G)I have satisfied my fury upon you. 14 (H)I am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; (I)I will not spare; (J)I will not relent; (K)according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God.”

(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.
