Isaiah 3:16-23

EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord warns Jerusalem's women

¹⁶ The Lord says, ‘Zion's women are very proud. They walk with their heads up high. They turn their eyes towards the men and they have no shame. They like the men to look at them. They walk with small steps so that the rings on their ankles make a nice sound. ¹⁷ Because of that, the Lord God will give them sores on their heads. Those beautiful women will be bald!’

^18-23 On that day, the Lord God will take away the beautiful rings that they wear on their ankles. He will remove all the valuable rings and bright stones that they wear on their heads, their necks, their ears, their arms, their fingers and their noses. He will take away their beautiful clothes, their belts, their perfumes and their magic rings.
