[16]Because the daughters of Zion have become haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks, and wanton eyes, making a tinkling with their feet, and thus provoking the LORD; |
| [17]Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 will lay bare their secret parts. |
[17]Therefore the LORD will bring low the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD shall lay bare their secret parts. |
| [18]In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the fillets, and the crescents; |
[18]In that day the LORD will take away the beauty of their apparel; |
| [19]The pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils; |
[19]And their adornments and their necklaces and the braids of their hair and their chains and their bonnets and their veils, |
| [20]The headtires, and the armlets, and the sashes, and the corselets, and the amulets; |

| [21]The rings, and the nose-jewels; |
