And grinding the faces of the poor?”
Says the Lord God of hosts.
“Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
And walk with1 outstretched necks
And1 wanton eyes,
Walking and1 mincing as they go,
Making a jingling with their feet,
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
And the Lord will buncover their secret parts.”
The jingling anklets, the1 scarves, and the acrescents;
The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.
Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench;
Instead of a sash, a rope;
Instead of well-set hair, abaldness;
Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth;
And branding instead of beauty.
