15 How dare you crush[a] my people
    as you grind down the face of the poor?”
        declares the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies.[b]

Judgment of Jerusalem’s Women

16 The Lord also says:

“Because Zion’s women are so haughty,
    and walk with outstretched necks,
flirting with their eyes,
    prancing[c] along as they walk,
        and making tinkling noises with their ankle bracelets,[d]
17 therefore the Lord[e] will afflict sores
    on the heads of Zion’s women,
        and the Lord[f] will expose their private parts.
