Isaiah 3:24 in Other Translations

Bible in Basic English (BBE)
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.
Darby English Bible (DBY)
