55 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.

56 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments, and cauls, and round tires like the moon,

57 The chains and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

58 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings,

59 The rings, and nose-jewels,

60 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins,

61 The glasses, and the fine linen, and hoods, and the veils.

62 And it shall come to pass, instead of a sweet smell, there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle, a rent; and instead of well set hair, baldness; and instead of a stomacher, a girding of sackcloth; burning instead of beauty.

63 Thy men shall fall by the sword; and thy mighty in the war.

64 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate, and shall sit upon the ground.

65 And in that day, seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
