22Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, And of the coverings, and of the purses,
23Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, And of the hoods, and of the vails,
24And it hath been, instead of spice is muck, And instead of a girdle, a rope, And instead of curled work, baldness, And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.
25For instead of glory, thy men by sword do fall, And thy might in battle.
26And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath been emptied, on the earth she sitteth!
