52 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor in your houses.

53 What mean ye? Ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor, saith the Lord God of hosts.

54 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

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.
