24 Now it will come to pass:
Instead of sweet spices there will be rottenness;
    instead of a sash, rags;
instead of curled hair, baldness;
    instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;
and branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men will fall by the sword,
    and your warriors in battle.
26 Her gates will lament and mourn.
    Desolate, she will sit on the ground.

Seven women will grab hold of one man in that day, saying:

“We will eat our own bread,
    and wear our own apparel.
Only let us be called by your name—
    take away our reproach!”
