For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”

They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!

And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who lead you [i]cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.”

The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

16 Moreover the Lord says:
“Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
And walk with [l]outstretched necks
And [m]wanton eyes,
Walking and [n]mincing as they go,
Making a jingling with their feet,
“Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
And walk with [l]outstretched necks
And [m]wanton eyes,
Walking and [n]mincing as they go,
Making a jingling with their feet,
17 Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
And the Lord will uncover their secret parts.”
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
And the Lord will uncover their secret parts.”

The jingling anklets, the [o]scarves, and the 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.
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, baldness;
Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth;
And [p]branding instead of beauty.

And your [q]mighty in the war.
And your [q]mighty in the war.

And she being desolate shall sit on the ground.
