King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
16 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
16
The LORD says, “The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, strutting along with swaying hips, with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover 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.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
18
In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces,
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
19
the earrings and bracelets and veils,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
20
the headdresses and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
21
the signet rings and nose rings,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
22
the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
23
and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
24
Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
25
Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors in battle.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
26
The gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.
