New King James Version
18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery:
The jingling anklets, the [a]scarves, and the (A)crescents;
19 The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
20 The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands;
The perfume boxes, the charms,
21 and the rings;
The nose jewels,
22 the festal apparel, and the mantles;
The outer garments, the purses,
23 and the mirrors;
The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.
24 And so it shall be:
Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench;
Instead of a sash, a rope;
Instead of well-set hair, (B)baldness;
Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth;
And [b]branding instead of beauty.
