NIVNew International Version (2011)

Instead of fragrance there will be a stench;

instead of a sash, a rope;

instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;

instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;

instead of beauty, branding.

Your men will fall by the sword,

your warriors in battle.

The gates of Zion will lament and mourn;

destitute, she will sit on the ground.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Instead of perfume there will be a stench;

instead of a belt, a rope;

instead of beautifully styled hair, baldness;

instead of fine clothes, sackcloth;

instead of beauty, branding.

Your men will fall by the sword,

your warriors in battle.

Then her gates will lament and mourn;

deserted, she will sit on the ground.

NLTNew Living Translation

Instead of smelling of sweet perfume, she will stink.

She will wear a rope for a sash,

and her elegant hair will fall out.

She will wear rough burlap instead of rich robes.

Shame will replace her beauty.

The men of the city will be killed with the sword,

and her warriors will die in battle.

The gates of Zion will weep and mourn.

The city will be like a ravaged woman,

huddled on the ground.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And this shall happen: There will be

a stench instead of perfume,

and a rope instead of a sash,

and baldness instead of a well-set hairdo,

and a clothing wrap of sackcloth instead of a rich robe,

branding instead of beauty.

Your men shall fall by the sword,

and your warriors in battle.

And her gates shall lament and mourn,

and she shall be banished;

she shall sit upon the ground.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

Thy men shall fall by the sword,

And thy mighty in the war.

And her gates shall lament and mourn;

And she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
