| 16 The LORD said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks, glancing wantonly with their eyes, mincing along as they go, tinkling with their feet; | 16 The LORD says, "The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their ankles. |
| 17 the Lord will smite with a scab the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts. | 17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the LORD will make their scalps bald." |
