aSee ch. 32:9-11
Isaiah 3:16-24
16 The Lord said:aBecause bthe daughters of Zion are haughty
and walk with outstretched necks,
glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go,
ctinkling with their feet,
17therefore the Lord dwill strike with a scab
the heads of ethe daughters of Zion,
and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.
18In that day the Lord will take away fthe finery of the anklets, the gheadbands, and the hcrescents; 19the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves; 20the iheaddresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets; 21the signet rings and jnose rings; 22the kfestal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; 23the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.
24 Instead of lperfume there will be rottenness;
and instead of a mbelt, a rope;
and instead of nwell-set hair, obaldness;
and instead of a rich robe, a pskirt of sackcloth;
and qbranding instead of beauty.
Ezekiel 16:10-20
10 rI clothed you also with embroidered cloth and shod you with fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk. ▼▼Or with rich fabric
11 tAnd I adorned you with ornaments and uput bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck. 12And I put a ring on your nose and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. 13Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth. vYou ate fine flour and honey and oil. wYou grew exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty. 14And xyour renown went forth among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through the splendor that I had bestowed on you, declares the Lord God. 15 y“But you trusted in your beauty zand played the whore ▼

on any passerby; your beauty ▼▼Hebrew it
became his. 16You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful shrines, and on them played the whore. The like has never been, nor ever shall be. ▼▼The meaning of this Hebrew sentence is uncertain
17You also took afyour beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and agmade for yourself images of men, and with them played the whore. 18And you took your embroidered garments to cover them, ahand set my oil and my incense before them. 19 aiAlso my bread that I gave you— ajI fed you with fine flour and oil and honey—you set before them for aka pleasing aroma; and so it was, declares the Lord God. 20 alAnd you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and amthese you sacrificed to them to be devoured.

Hosea 2:9-13
9Therefore auI will take backmy grain in its time,
and my wine in its season,
and avI will take away my wool and my flax,
which were to cover her nakedness.
10Now awI will uncover her lewdness
in the sight of her lovers,
and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
11 axAnd I will put an end to all her mirth,
her feasts, her aynew moons, her azSabbaths,
and all her baappointed feasts.
12And bbI will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
bcof which she said,
‘These are bdmy wages,
which my lovers have given me.’
I will make them a forest,
beand the beasts of the field shall devour them.
13And bfI will punish her for bgthe feast days of the Baals
when she burned offerings to them
and bhadorned herself with her ring and jewelry,
and went after her lovers
and forgot me, declares the Lord.
