19. The pendants, the bracelets or chains, and the spangled face veils and scarfs,
20. The headbands, the short ankle chains [attached from one foot to the other to insure a measured gait], the sashes, the perfume boxes, the amulets or charms [suspended from the ears or neck],
21. The signet rings and nose rings,
22. The festal robes, the cloaks, the stoles and shawls, and the handbags,
23. The hand mirrors, the fine linen [undergarments], the turbans, and the [whole body-enveloping] veils.
24. And it shall come to pass that instead of the sweet odor of spices there shall be the stench of rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and searing [of captives by the scorching heat] instead of beauty.
25. Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty men in battle.
26. And [Jerusalem's] gates shall lament and mourn [as those who wail for the dead]; and she, being ruined and desolate, shall sit upon the ground.
