3:17 So 1 the sovereign master 2 will afflict the foreheads of Zion’s women 3 with skin diseases, 4
the Lord will make the front of their heads bald.” 5
3:18 6 At that time 7 the sovereign master will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, 8 neck ornaments, crescent shaped ornaments, 3:19 earrings, bracelets, veils, 3:20 headdresses, ankle ornaments, sashes, sachets, 9 amulets, 3:21 rings, nose rings, 3:22 festive dresses, robes, shawls, purses, 3:23 garments, vests, head coverings, and gowns. 10
3:24 A putrid stench will replace the smell of spices, 11
a rope will replace a belt,
baldness will replace braided locks of hair,
a sackcloth garment will replace a fine robe,
and a prisoner’s brand will replace beauty.
3:25 Your 12 men will fall by the sword,
your strong men will die in battle. 13
3:26 Her gates will mourn and lament;
deprived of her people, she will sit on the ground. 14
