⁴ Now ^(A)John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was ^(B)locusts and ^(C)wild honey.

⁸ So they answered him, ^(A)“A hairy man wearing a leather belt around his waist.”

And he said, ^(B)“It is Elijah the Tishbite.”

²² These you may eat: ^(A)the locust after its kind, the destroying locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

⁶ Now John was ^(A)clothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

⁸ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

⁴ “And it shall be in that day that ^(A)every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not wear ^(B)a robe of coarse hair to deceive.

^17 (A)He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

³ And I will give power to my two ^(A)witnesses, ^(B)and they will prophesy ^(C)one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
