"They are only finding things to capture and divide, a woman or two for every soldier, rich cloth for Sisera, embroidered pieces for the neck of the queen."

"Kings and their armies are running away!" The women at home divided what was captured:

She doesn't worry when it snows, because her family has warm clothing.

The LORD said, "Look how proud the women of Jerusalem are! They walk along with their noses in the air. They are always flirting. They take dainty little steps, and the bracelets on their ankles jingle.

A day is coming when the Lord will take away from the women of Jerusalem everything they are so proud of---the ornaments they wear on their ankles, on their heads, on their necks,

and their hats; the magic charms they wear on their arms and at their waists;

all their fine robes, gowns, cloaks, and purses;

Instead of using perfumes, they will stink; instead of fine belts, they will wear coarse ropes; instead of having beautiful hair, they will be bald; instead of fine clothes, they will be dressed in rags; their beauty will be turned to shame!

The city gates will mourn and cry, and the city itself will be like a woman sitting on the ground, stripped naked.

Does a young woman forget her jewelry, or a bride her wedding dress? But my people have forgotten me for more days than can be counted.

I also want the women to be modest and sensible about their clothes and to dress properly; not with fancy hair styles or with gold ornaments or pearls or expensive dresses,

but with good deeds, as is proper for women who claim to be religious.

You should not use outward aids to make yourselves beautiful, such as the way you fix your hair, or the jewelry you put on, or the dresses you wear.

For the devout women of the past who placed their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful by submitting themselves to their husbands.
