On the (B)day of his wedding,
And on the day of his gladness of heart.”

Judah’s Women Denounced
16 Moreover, the Lord said, “Because the (A)daughters of Zion are proud
And walk with [a]heads held high and seductive eyes,
And go along with mincing steps
And tinkle the bangles on their feet,
17 Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs,
And the Lord will make their foreheads bare.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, (B)crescent ornaments, 19 dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, 20 (C)headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets, 21 [b]finger rings, (D)nose rings, 22 festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses, 23 hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans and veils.
24 Now it will come about that instead of [c]sweet (E)perfume there will be putrefaction;
Instead of a belt, a rope;
Instead of (F)well-set hair, a (G)plucked-out scalp;
Instead of fine clothes, a (H)donning of sackcloth;
And branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men will (I)fall by the sword
And your [d]mighty ones in battle.
26 And her [e](J)gates will lament and mourn,
And deserted she will (K)sit on the ground.
A Remnant Prepared
4 For seven women will take hold of (L)one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; (M)take away our reproach!”

Isaiah 32:9-15
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 Rise up, you (A)women who are at ease,
And hear my voice;
(B)Give ear to my word,
You complacent daughters.
10 Within a year and a few days
You will be troubled, O complacent daughters;
(C)For the vintage is ended,
And the fruit gathering will not come.
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease;
(D)Be troubled, you complacent daughters;
(E)Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist,
12 (F)Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
13 (G)For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up;
Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the (H)jubilant city.
14 Because (I)the palace has been abandoned, the [a]populated (J)city forsaken.
[b]Hill and watch-tower have become (K)caves forever,
A delight for (L)wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;
15 Until the (M)Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,
And the wilderness becomes a (N)fertile field,
And the fertile field is considered as a forest.
