And it shall come to pass,
_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;
_burning instead of beauty.
Thy men shall fall by the sword and thy mighty in the war.
And her gates shall lament and mourn;
_and she shall be desolate,
_and shall sit upon the ground.
And in that day,
_seven women shall take hold of one man, saying:
We will eat our own bread,
_and wear our own apparel;
_only let us be called by thy name [i]2296[/i]
_to take away our reproach.
