    16¶ Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

    17Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.

    18In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

    19The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

    20The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

    21The rings, and nose jewels,

    22The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

    23The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

    24And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

    25Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

    26And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

6:14And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

6:15Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

6:16But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

6:17For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.

6:18For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.

6:19Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

6:20For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

6:21And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;

6:22And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

6:24And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

6:25And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.

6:26And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.

6:27And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

6:28And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.

6:29And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
