18In that day, my Lord will strip off the finery of the anklets, the fillets, and the crescents; 19of the eardrops, the bracelets, and the veils; 20the turbans, the armlets, and the sashes; of the talismans and the amulets; 21the signet rings and the nose rings; 22of the festive robes, the mantles, and the shawls; the purses, 23the lace gowns, and the linen vests; and the kerchiefs and the capes.
