''Let me tell you something, ladies; I’m not making fun of you. This is no place for that; this is the place for judgment goes forth. And judgment has to go right. And judgment’s by the Word of God. Looky. There was only one woman in the entire Bible that ever painted her face (That’s right.), one woman. And she never painted her face to meet God. She painted her face to meet a man to try to vamp him (That’s right.), Jehu. Jezebel, you know what God did for her? He fed her to the dogs. That’s right. '''So you see a woman wearing makeup, you say that’s “Miss dog meat.”''' That’s exactly what it is ’fore God. He fed her to the dogs. So that’s all she stood for were dogs. He fed her to the dogs. How many knows that’s the truth, say “Amen.” That’s exactly right.<ref>William Branham, 60-0610 - The Rejected King, para. 68</ref> | ''Let me tell you something, ladies; I’m not making fun of you.

''Listen. There was only one woman in the Bible ever painted her face, and that was Jezebel. God fed her to the dogs for doing it. Now, when you see a woman with a lot of paint on, say, “How do, Miss Dog-meat?” That’s exactly what it was in the Bible. God fed her to the dogs, so He just made dog-meat out of it. It’s exactly right. What we need is a Pentecostal stirring revival to clean all the way from the pulpit to the floor of the church, clean up. We need Christ, brother, sister; we do.<ref>William Branham, 61-0210 - Abraham's Covenant Confirmed, para. 144</ref> | ''Listen.

''So you know, there is only one woman in the Bible that ever painted her face. And she never painted her face to meet God. She painted her face to meet man. That’s right. You know what God did for her? Fed her to the dogs. So when you see a woman wearing paint, you just say, “Good morning, Miss Dog-Meat.” That’s exactly what it is. That’s awful, isn’t it? But that’s what God thinks about it. She is just made common dog meat for wild dogs. That’s about what she is. Some of these wild wolves that goes around, whistling, you know; what they call wolfing, you know. That’s what it is, just dog meat again.<ref>William Branham, 63-0628M - O Lord, Just Once More, para. 15</ref> | ''So you know, there is only one woman in the Bible that ever painted her face.
