1 Corinthians 11:5

But, every woman, praying, or prophesying, with her head, unveiled, putteth to shame her head,—for it is, one and the same, with her having been shaven.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

In Context

6For, if a woman doth not veil herself, let her also be shorn; but, if it were a shame in a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.
