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:
The LORD also says: The women of Jerusalem are proud and arrogant. They walk with their heads held high in vanity, flirting with their eyes, taking dainty little steps as they walk, and making noise with the jewelry on their feet.
God is criticizing the wealthy women of Jerusalem for their pride, vanity, and focus on outward appearances instead of humility and godliness.
