Isaiah 3:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ In place of perfume,
    there will be a stink;
in place of belts,
    there will be ropes;
in place of fancy hairdos,
    they will have bald heads.
Instead of expensive clothes,
    they will wear sackcloth;
instead of beauty,
    they will have ugly scars.
²⁵ The fighting men of Jerusalem
    will be killed in battle.
²⁶ The city will mourn
and sit in the dirt,
    emptied of its people.
