They could be made from various materials, including gold, silver, or precious stones. The mention of pendants here highlights the opulence and materialism prevalent among the women of Jerusalem, which Isaiah criticizes. This reflects a broader biblical theme where external adornment is often contrasted with inner spiritual beauty (<a href="/1_peter/3-3.htm">1 Peter 3:3-4</a>).<p><b>bracelets</b><br>Bracelets were common in the ancient Near East and served as symbols of prosperity and social standing. Archaeological findings have uncovered various types of bracelets from this period, indicating their popularity. In the context of Isaiah, the focus on such adornments underscores the vanity and misplaced priorities of the people, drawing a parallel to the warnings against idolatry and the neglect of God's commandments (<a href="/exodus/32-2.htm">Exodus 32:2-4</a>).<p><b>and veils</b><br>Veils were used for modesty and as a sign of dignity among women in biblical times. However, in this passage, the mention of veils may also imply a sense of false security or hiding one's true self. The cultural practice of wearing veils can be seen in other parts of the Bible, such as in the story of Rebekah (<a href="/genesis/24-65.htm">Genesis 24:65</a>). Isaiah's critique suggests that the people were more concerned with outward appearances than with their spiritual condition, a theme echoed in Jesus' teachings about the Pharisees (<a href="/matthew/23-27.htm">Matthew 23:27-28</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book that bears his name.
