Moreover, the LORDsaid,"Becausethe daughtersof Zionare proudAnd walkwith headsheldhighand seductiveeyes,And goalong with mincingstepsAnd tinklethe bangleson their feet,
Pride[goes] beforedestruction,And a haughtyspiritbeforestumbling.
Haughtyeyesand a proudheart,The lampof the wicked,is sin.
There is a kind--oh howloftyare his eyes!And his eyelidsare raised[in arrogance].
"Goforth,O daughtersof Zion,And gazeon KingSolomonwith the crownWith whichhis motherhas crownedhim On the dayof his wedding,And on the dayof his gladnessof heart."
The daughterof Zionis leftlike a shelterin a vineyard,Like a watchman'shutin a cucumberfield,like a besiegedcity.
The earthmourns[and] withers,the worldfades[and] withers,the exaltedof the peopleof the earthfadeaway.
For behold,the LordGODof hostsis going to removefrom Jerusalemand JudahBoth supplyand support,the wholesupplyof breadAnd the wholesupplyof water;
Therefore the Lordwill afflictthe scalpof the daughtersof Zionwith scabs,And the LORDwill maketheir foreheadsbare."
In that daythe Lordwill takeawaythe beautyof [their] anklets,headbands,crescentornaments,
And I will makemere ladstheir princes,And capriciouschildrenwill ruleover them,
Whenthe Lordhas washedawaythe filthof the daughtersof Zionand purgedthe bloodshedof Jerusalemfrom her midst,by the spiritof judgmentand the spiritof burning,
"In that dayyou will feelnoshameBecauseof allyour deedsBy whichyou have rebelledagainst Me; For thenI will removefrom your midstYour proud,exultingones,And you will neveragainbe haughtyOn My holymountain.
"SAYTO THE DAUGHTEROF ZION,'BEHOLDYOUR KINGIS COMINGTO YOU, GENTLE,AND MOUNTEDON A DONKEY,EVENON A COLT,THE FOALOF A BEAST OF BURDEN.'"
But Jesusturningto them said,"Daughtersof Jerusalem,stopweepingfor Me, but weepfor yourselvesand for your children.
