And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.

Reina-Valera 1909 (RVR 1909)

Y será que en lugar de los perfumes aromáticos vendrá hediondez; y desgarrón en lugar de cinta; y calvez en lugar de la compostura del cabello; y en lugar de faja ceñimiento de saco; y quemadura en vez de hermosura.

En vez de exhalar dulce perfume, tendrán pestilencia; en vez de cinturón usarán cuerdas; el bien cuidado cabello se les caerá; vestirán saco en lugar de vestidos. Toda su belleza se esfumará; les quedará únicamente vergüenza y deshonor.
