Isaiah 3:16-26

Judah’s Women Denounced

16 Moreover, the Lord said, “Because the ^adaughters of Zion are haughty
And walk with ^{▼▼Lit outstretched necks}heads held high and seductive eyes,
And go along with mincing steps
And jingle the anklets on their feet,
17 The Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs,
And the Lord will make their foreheads bare.”
18 On that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, ^ccrescent ornaments, 19 dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, 20 ^dheaddresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets, 21 ^{▼▼Or signet rings}finger rings, ^fnose rings, 22 festive robes, outer garments, shawls, purses, 23 papyrus garments, undergarments, headbands, and veils.

24 Now it will come about that instead of ^gbalsam oil there will be a stench;
Instead of a belt, a rope;
Instead of ^hwell-set hair, a ⁱplucked-out scalp;
Instead of fine clothes, a ^jrobe of sackcloth;
And branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men will ^kfall by the sword
And your ^{▼▼Lit strength}mighty ones in battle.
26 And her ^{▼▼Lit entrances
,} ⁿgates will lament and mourn,
And she will ^osit deserted on the ground.

Isaiah 4:1

A Remnant Prepared

1 For seven women will take hold of ^pone man on that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; ^qtake away our disgrace!”
