Isaiah 3:11-24
King James Version
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.
16 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

Isaiah 3:11-24
New International Version
11 Woe to the wicked!(A)
Disaster(B) is upon them!
They will be paid back(C)
for what their hands have done.(D)
12 Youths(E) oppress my people,
women rule over them.
My people, your guides lead you astray;(F)
they turn you from the path.
13 The Lord takes his place in court;(G)
he rises to judge(H) the people.
14 The Lord enters into judgment(I)
against the elders and leaders of his people:
“It is you who have ruined my vineyard;
the plunder(J) from the poor(K) is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by crushing my people(L)
and grinding(M) the faces of the poor?”(N)
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.(O)
16 The Lord says,
“The women of Zion(P) are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,(Q)
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.(R)”
18 In that day(S) the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces,(T) 19 the earrings and bracelets(U) and veils,(V) 20 the headdresses(W) and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, 21 the signet rings and nose rings,(X) 22 the fine robes and the capes and cloaks,(Y) the purses 23 and mirrors, and the linen garments(Z) and tiaras(AA) and shawls.
