Isaiah 3:25

23 and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls.

24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.

Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.

26 And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.

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.
