Isaiah 3:18-24
18In that day the Lord will take away dthe finery of the anklets, the eheadbands, and the fcrescents; 19the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves; 20the gheaddresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets; 21the signet rings and hnose rings; 22the ifestal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; 23the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.24 Instead of jperfume there will be rottenness;
and instead of a kbelt, a rope;
and instead of lwell-set hair, mbaldness;
and instead of a rich robe, a nskirt of sackcloth;
and obranding instead of beauty.
