Commentators unanimously highlight how the punishment is a direct and ironic reversal of the sin. Each item of luxury and pride—perfumes, fine belts, styled hair—is replaced by a symbol of utter humiliation and suffering: stench, a captive's rope, baldness, and the brand of a slave. This demonstrates a divine principle where judgment often fits the nature of the transgression, turning sources of vanity into instruments of shame.
