15 What gives you the right to crush my people
    and grind the faces of the ·poor into the dirt [L poor]?”
The Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says this.

A Warning to Women of Jerusalem

16 The Lord says,
    “The ·women of Jerusalem [L daughters of Zion] are ·proud [haughty; arrogant].
They walk around with ·their heads held high [L an outstretched neck],
    and they flirt with their eyes.
·They take quick, short steps […prancing/mincing along],
    ·making noise with their ankle bracelets [L jingling with their feet].”
17 So the Lord will put ·sores [scabs; skin lesions] on the heads of those ·women in Jerusalem [L daughters of Zion],
    and he will ·make them lose their hair [lay bare/make bald their forehead].
