16 The Lord also saith, [a]Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with [b]stretched out necks, and with [c]wandering eyes, walking and [d]mincing as they go, and making a [e]tinkling with their feet,

17 Therefore shall the Lord make the heads of the daughters of Zion bald, and the Lord shall discover their secret parts.

18 In that day shall the Lord take away the ornament of the slippers, and the cauls, and the round tyres,

19 The sweet balls, and the bracelets, and the bonnets,

20 The tyres of the head, and the slops, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

21 The rings and the mufflers,

22 The costly apparel and the veils, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

23 And the glasses and the fine linen, and the hoods and the [f]lawns.

24 And instead of sweet savor, there shall be stink, and instead of girdle, a rent, and instead of dressing of the hair, baldness, and instead of a stomacher, a girding of sackcloth, and burning instead of beauty.

25 Thy men shall fall by the [g]sword, and thy strength in the battle.

26 Then shall her gates mourn and lament, and she being desolate, shall sit upon the ground.

1 The small remnant of men after the destruction of Jerusalem. 2 The graces of God upon them that remain.

And in that day shall [h]seven women take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and we will wear our own garments: only [i]let us be called by thy name, and take away our [j]reproach.
