Baldness

“Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean.”

“Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean.”

“Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.”

“The people of Gaza will shave their heads in mourning; Ashkelon will be silenced. O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?”

“For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.”

“They will put on sackcloth, and terror will overwhelm them. Shame will cover all their faces, and all their heads will be shaved.”

“On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.”

““Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them.”
