Bible verse
Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.
Isaiah 3:24 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 3.
20 their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; their perfume bottles and charms;
21 their signet rings and nose rings;
22 their festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses;
23 and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls.
24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.
25 Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.
26 And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.
