1·Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding.
必有臭烂代替馨香，绳子代替腰带，光秃代替美发，麻衣系腰代替华服，烙伤代替美容。
2·You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
你已将我的哀哭变为跳舞，将我的麻衣脱去，给我披上喜乐。
3·When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
末底改知道所做的这一切事，就撕裂衣服，穿麻衣，蒙灰尘，在城中行走，痛哭哀号。
4·Then David and the elders, covered with sackcloth, fell on their faces.
大卫和长老都身穿麻衣、面伏于地。
5·And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
到了朝门前停住脚步，因为穿麻衣的不可进朝门。
