Judah’s Women Denounced

¹⁸ On that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, ^(B)crescent ornaments, ¹⁹ dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, ^20 (C)headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets, ^21 [b]finger rings, ^(D)nose rings, ²² festive robes, outer garments, shawls, purses, ²³ papyrus garments, undergarments, headbands, and veils.

³⁷ therefore, behold, I am going to ^(A)gather all your lovers whom you pleased, all those whom you loved as well as all those whom you ^(B)hated. So I will gather them against you from every direction and ^(C)expose your nakedness to them so that they may see all your nakedness. ³⁸ So I will ^(D)judge you as women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of ^(E)wrath and jealousy. ³⁹ I will also hand you over to ^[a]your lovers, and they will tear down your shrines, demolish your high places, ^(F)strip you of your clothing, take away your ^[b]jewels, and will leave you naked and bare.

²⁶ They will also ^(A)strip you of your clothes and take away your ^(B)beautiful jewelry.

¹⁸ I advise you to ^(A)buy from Me ^(B)gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and ^(C)white garments so that you may clothe yourself and ^(D)the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to apply to your eyes so that you may see.

¹⁵ (“Behold, ^(A)I am coming like a thief. ^(B)Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, ^(C)so that he will not walk about naked and people will not see his shame.”)
