Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

Strong's King James

And{G1161} the same{G846} John{G2491} had{G2192}{(G5707)} his{G846} raiment{G1742} of{G575} camel's{G2574} hair{G2359}, and{G2532} a leathern{G1193} girdle{G2223} about{G4012} his{G846} loins{G3751}; and{G1161} his{G846} meat{G5160} was{G2258}{(G5713)} locusts{G200} and{G2532} wild{G66} honey{G3192}.

The F.O.G *

(4) But John himself had his garment of camel's hair and leather belt around his waist and his food was locusts and wild honey.

The F.O.G Message *

[4] John stood out dramatically from the religious leaders of his day. He wore rough clothing made of camel's hair, tied with a simple leather belt—the uniform of a prophet, reminiscent of Elijah. His diet was as austere as his message: locusts and wild honey, the food of the poor and desperate.

Young's Literal Translation

And this John had his clothing of camel’s hair, and a girdle of skin round his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and honey of the field.
