Isaiah 3:16-26
New International Version
Isaiah 3:16-26
New International Version
16 The Lord says,
“The women of Zion(A) are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,(B)
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.(C)”
18 In that day(D) the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces,(E) 19 the earrings and bracelets(F) and veils,(G) 20 the headdresses(H) and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, 21 the signet rings and nose rings,(I) 22 the fine robes and the capes and cloaks,(J) the purses 23 and mirrors, and the linen garments(K) and tiaras(L) and shawls.
24 Instead of fragrance(M) there will be a stench;(N)
instead of a sash,(O) a rope;
instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;(P)
instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;(Q)
instead of beauty,(R) branding.(S)
25 Your men will fall by the sword,(T)
your warriors in battle.(U)
26 The gates(V) of Zion will lament and mourn;(W)
destitute,(X) she will sit on the ground.(Y)
Isaiah 3:16-26
King James Version
Isaiah 3:16-26
King James Version
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.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

Lamentations 4:5-8
New International Version
Lamentations 4:5-8
New International Version
5 Those who once ate delicacies
are destitute in the streets.
Those brought up in royal purple(A)
now lie on ash heaps.(B)
6 The punishment of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,(C)
which was overthrown in a moment
without a hand turned to help her.
7 Their princes were brighter than snow
and whiter than milk,
their bodies more ruddy than rubies,
their appearance like lapis lazuli.
Lamentations 4:5-8
King James Version
Lamentations 4:5-8
King James Version
5 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
8 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
