Isaiah 3:16-26

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,
17 therefore the Lord ^dwill strike with a scab
the heads of ^ethe daughters of Zion,
and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.

18 In that day the Lord will take away ^fthe finery of the anklets, the ^gheadbands, and the ^hcrescents; 19 the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves; 20 the ⁱheaddresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets; 21 the signet rings and ^jnose rings; 22 the ^kfestal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; 23 the 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.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword
and your mighty men in battle.
26 And ^rher gates shall lament and mourn;
empty, she shall ^ssit on the ground.

Isaiah 4:1

1 ^tAnd seven women ^ushall take hold of ^vone man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; ^wtake away our reproach.”
