23     and the mirrors;
The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.

24 And so it shall be:

Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench;
Instead of a sash, a rope;
Instead of well-set hair, (A)baldness;
Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth;
And [a]branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword,
And your [b]mighty in the war.
