The Pride of Jerusalem’s Women And Yahweh said: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and they walk with outstretched neck, and they give flirting glances with their eyes, ?mincing along as they go?, and ?with their feet they rattle their bangles?, 17 the Lord will make the heads of the daughters of Zion scabby, and Yahweh will lay their foreheads bare.”…
+ DAILY PRAYER +
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;
He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 66:16-19
Psa 66:16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
Psa 66:17 I cried to him with my mouth,
and high praise was on my tongue.
Psa 66:18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.
Psa 66:19 But truly God has listened;
he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Reading for Thursday November 27th Isaiah 3:16-4:1
The Pride of Jerusalem’s Women
16 And Yahweh said: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
and they walk with outstretched neck,
and they give flirting glances with their eyes,
?mincing along as they go?,
and ?with their feet they rattle their bangles?,
17 the Lord will make the heads of the daughters of Zion scabby,
and Yahweh will lay their foreheads bare.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets
and the headbands and the crescent necklaces,
19 the pendants and the bracelets and the veils,
20 the headdresses and the armlets and the sashes,
and the ?perfume boxes? and the amulets,
21 the signet rings and the nose rings,
22 the festal robes and the mantles,
and the cloaks and the handbags,
23 and the mirrors and the linen garments,
and the turbans and the wraps.
24 And this shall happen: There will be
a stench instead of perfume,
and a rope instead of a sash,
and baldness instead of a well-set hairdo,
and a clothing wrap of sackcloth instead of a rich robe,
branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword,
and your warriors in battle.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn,
and she shall be banished;
she shall sit upon the ground.
4 And seven women shall grasp at one man on that day, saying,
“We will eat our own bread,
and we will wear our own clothing;
only ?let us be called by your name?!
Take away our disgrace!”
