Isaiah 3:24-26

The Voice

²⁴ Then instead of a lovely scent—they’ll smell of decay;
    instead of leather belts—they’ll don a rope;
Instead of a cut and style—they’ll have bald heads;
    instead of silky-soft fabric—they’ll put on scratchy burlap sacks;
Instead of beauty—they’ll be branded with shame.
²⁵ Jerusalem, your fathers and sons will be slaughtered,
    your valiant protectors killed in battle,
²⁶ And your gates will cry out in grief.
    The city will sit in a heap on the ground, desolate and empty.
