Isaiah 3:19
17 the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;
their pendants, bracelets, and veils;
20 their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; their perfume bottles and charms;
21 their signet rings and nose rings;
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
