Isaiah 3:16-26
New King James Version
16 Moreover the Lord says:
“Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
And walk with [a]outstretched necks
And [b]wanton eyes,
Walking and [c]mincing as they go,
Making a jingling with their feet,
17 Therefore the Lord will strike with (A)a scab
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
And the Lord will (B)uncover their secret parts.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery:
The jingling anklets, the [d]scarves, and the (C)crescents;
19 The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
20 The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands;
The perfume boxes, the charms,
21 and the rings;
The nose jewels,
22 the festal apparel, and the mantles;
The outer garments, the purses,
23 and the mirrors;
The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.
24 And so it shall be:
Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench;
Instead of a sash, a rope;
Instead of well-set hair, (D)baldness;
Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth;
And [e]branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword,
And your [f]mighty in the war.

Lamentations 4:5-8
New King James Version
5 Those who ate delicacies
Are desolate in the streets;
Those who were brought up in scarlet
(A)Embrace ash heaps.
6 The punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the punishment of the (B)sin of Sodom,
Which was (C)overthrown in a moment,
With no hand to help her!
7 Her [a]Nazirites were [b]brighter than snow
And whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies,
Like sapphire in their [c]appearance.
8 Now their appearance is blacker than soot;
They go unrecognized in the streets;
(D)Their skin clings to their bones,
It has become as dry as wood.
