isaiah 3:24 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. - Free Bible Online

isaiah 3:24 Now it will come about that instead of sweet perfume there will be putrefaction; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, a plucked-out scalp; Instead of fine clothes, a donning of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.


      24. stink--arising from ulcers (Zec 14:12).
      girdle--to gird up the loose Eastern garments, when the person walked.

      baldness-- (Isa 3:17).
      stomacher--a broad plaited girdle.
      sackcloth-- (2Sa 3:31).
      burning--a sunburnt countenance, owing to their hoods and veils being stripped off, while they had to work as captives under a scorching sun (So 1:6).
