24Instead of the smell of perfume, there will be the smell of decay. 

They will wear ropes instead of belts. 

They will have bald heads instead of beautiful hair. 

They will wear sackcloth instead of expensive clothes. 

Their beauty will be scarred.a

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

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.
