The LORD says,“ The women of Zion are proud. They walk with their heads high and flirt with their eyes. They skip along and the jewelry on their ankles jingles.So the sovereign master will afflict the foreheads of Zion’s women with skin diseases, the LORD will make the front of their heads bald.”At that time the sovereign master will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, neck ornaments, crescent shaped ornaments,earrings, bracelets, veils,headdresses, ankle ornaments, sashes, sachets, amulets,rings, nose rings,festive dresses, robes, shawls, purses,garments, vests, head coverings, and gowns.A putrid stench will replace the smell of spices, a rope will replace a belt, baldness will replace braided locks of hair, a sackcloth garment will replace a fine robe, and a prisoner’s brand will replace beauty.

“ Drink, my lord,” she replied, and quickly lowering her jug to her hands, she gave him a drink.When she had done so, she said,“ I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have drunk as much as they want.”She quickly emptied her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw more water until she had drawn enough for all his camels.

All the widows stood beside him, crying and showing him the tunics and other clothing Dorcas used to make while she was with them.But Peter sent them all outside, knelt down, and prayed.
