The Daughters of Zion (Tsyion)

"The Daughters of Zion (Tsyion)."

Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 3:16-26 says Because the daughters
of Zion are haughty (arrogantly and inordinately proud).
Inordinately defines as exceeding normal or reasonable
limits, not regulated, disorderly, is this clear and loud.
And walk with outstretched necks and seductive eyes
walking and mincing as they go.
Mincing is defined as affectedly refined I had to look
this up for myself and many who did not know.
Making a jingling with their feet therefore Yah shall
smite with a scab the crown of their head.
The daughters of Zion Yah shall expose your nakedness
as verse 17 of chapter 3 has said.
In that day Yah shall take away the finery of the anklets,
headbands, the crescents, the pendants, and bracelets too.
The veils, headdresses, leg ornaments, the sashes the perfume
bottles, the amulets, rings, nose jewels those things He'll do.
The costly robes, the cloaks, the shawls, purses, the mirrors,
fine linen, turbans, and the large veils also.
Instead of a sweet smell a smell of decay, instead of a belt
a rope, instead of well-set bald they shall go.
Instead of a festal robe a girding of sackcloth
and branding instead of loveliness.
Branding is defined as being marked the once proud
daughters of Zion Yah will humble by making them a mess.
By the sword and your strength in battle
your men shall fall.
I'm almost to the end of the chapter about the
sorrows to come but this isn't all.
The daughters of Zion shall lament (to express grief)
and mourn they'll be deserted and sit on the ground.
This is a prophecy to the Sisters to change your
ways before this judgment from Yah comes down.
Sisters take heed for this is directed at those of you
who think it's all about you with the attitude.
You who really believe you have it going on because
of your possessions and status, for your ears this is food.
Yah is going to personally break you to humble you
the conceited will fall in humility and shame.
My Sisters, you daughters of Zion are headed for a fall
when you look in the mirror you'll see the one to blame.
