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