2 Corinthians 11:2-3
New King James Version
2 For I am (A)jealous for you with godly jealousy. For (B)I have betrothed you to one husband, (C)that I may present you (D)as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest somehow, as (E)the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds (F)may be corrupted from the [a]simplicity that is in Christ.

Isaiah 3:16-24
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.

New King James Version
3 So he carried me away in the Spirit (A)into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting (B)on a scarlet beast which was full of (C)names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman (D)was arrayed in purple and scarlet, (E)and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, (F)having in her hand a golden cup (G)full of abominations and the filthiness of [a]her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written:
(H)MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.

New King James Version
30 “And when you are plundered,
What will you do?
Though you clothe yourself with crimson,
Though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold,
(A)Though you enlarge your eyes with paint,
In vain you will make yourself fair;
(B)Your lovers will despise you;
They will seek your life.
