Isaiah 3:16-23
EasyEnglish Bible
The Lord warns Jerusalem's women
16 The Lord says, ‘Zion's women are very proud. They walk with their heads up high. They turn their eyes towards the men and they have no shame. They like the men to look at them. They walk with small steps so that the rings on their ankles make a nice sound. 17 Because of that, the Lord God will give them sores on their heads. Those beautiful women will be bald!’
18-23 On that day, the Lord God will take away the beautiful rings that they wear on their ankles. He will remove all the valuable rings and bright stones that they wear on their heads, their necks, their ears, their arms, their fingers and their noses. He will take away their beautiful clothes, their belts, their perfumes and their magic rings.

Isaiah 3:16-18
New International Version
16 The Lord says,
“The women of Zion(A) are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,(B)
flirting with their eyes,
strutting along with swaying hips,
with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;
the Lord will make their scalps bald.(C)”
18 In that day(D) the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces,(E)
