When the people heard this sad word, they went into mourning, and none of them put on his ornaments.

In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments,


And you, O desolate one, what will you do?
Although you dress in scarlet,
Although you decorate yourself with ornaments of gold,
Although you enlarge your eyes with paint,
In vain you make yourself beautiful.
Your lovers despise you;
They seek your life.

In vain you make yourself beautiful.

A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,
And a man of evil devices is hated.

There is no relief for your breakdown,
Your wound is incurable.

But one of perverse mind will be despised.


“Men will clap their hands at him
And will hiss him from his place.

The righteous will see and fear,
And will laugh at him, saying,

“Then they will go forth and look
On the corpses of the men
Who have transgressed against Me.
For their worm will not die
And their fire will not be quenched;
And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind.”
