24 And this shall happen: There will be
    a stench instead of perfume,
and a rope instead of a sash,
    and baldness instead of a well-set hairdo,
and a clothing wrap of sackcloth instead of a rich robe,
    branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword,
    and your warriors in battle.
26 And her[a] gates shall lament and mourn,
    and she shall be banished;
        she shall sit upon the ground.

And seven women shall grasp at one man on that day, saying,
“We will eat our own bread,
    and we will wear our own clothing;
only let us be called by your name![b]
    Take away our disgrace!”
