Strong's King James
(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
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.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
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.
Young's Literal Translation
