¹² And in that day the Lord God of hosts
^(A)Called for weeping and for mourning,
^(B)For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.

“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.

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.

^26 (E)Her gates shall lament and mourn,
And she being desolate ^(F)shall sit on the ground.

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.
