And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.

And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

And you, what will you do when you are ruined? Though you dress with crimson, though you put on ornaments of gold, though you make your eyes large with paint, you shall make yourself beautiful in vain; your lovers will despise you; they will seek your life.

Furthermore you sent for men to come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and there they came. And you washed yourself for them, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments.

In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and their headbands, and their crescents of the moon,

the turbans, and the leg ornaments, and the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the amulets;

the festal apparel and the outer garments; and the mantles, and the purses;

And it shall be, instead of a smell of perfume, there shall be an odor of decay. And instead of a belt, a rope. And instead of well set hair, baldness. And instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.

Groan in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind your turban on your head, and put your sandals on your feet; do not cover your mustache, and do not eat the bread of men of sorrow.

in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in appropriate apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,

but, that which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

Do not let your adornment be outward; arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on apparel;
