Isaiah 3:24 Context
22The changeable sutes of apparell, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pinnes, 23The glasses, and the fine linnen, and the hoods, and the vailes. 24And it shall come to passe, that in steade of sweete smell, there shall bee stinke; and in stead of a girdle, a rent; and in stead of well set haire, baldnesse; and in stead of a stomacher, a girding of sackecloth; and burning, in stead of beautie. 25Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mightie in the warre. 26And her gates shall lament and mourne; and she being desolate, shall sit vpon the ground.

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.
- King James Version
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.
