Isaiah 3:13-15

God warns the leaders in particular that he is well aware of their wicked practices.

God warns women in *Jerusalem

v16 Look at those women in *Jerusalem! They walk about so proudly. In the street they try to attract men to have sex with them. The women have no shame. They wear tiny bells on their ankles to attract attention as they walk. v17 But I will make their heads sore and make their bodies naked. v18-23 I will strip these women of all their dresses and the precious things that they wear. From every part of their body they will lose everything, from ear-rings to ankle chains. Every one of their aids to beauty will disappear. So will every luxury. v24 Instead of sweet cream, a bad smell. Instead of a lovely belt, a *rope. Instead of beautiful hair, a bald head. Instead of the latest fashion, rough cloth. Instead of beauty, shame. v25 The women will even lose their husbands, because the men will die in battle. v26 The entrances to *Jerusalem will be mere holes in the wall. The gates will be missing. The women will sit on the ground and cry in despair.
