24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

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.

26 (B)Her gates shall lament and mourn,
And she being desolate (C)shall sit on the ground.
