their pendants
The Hebrew word for "pendants" is "netiphoth," which refers to small, decorative ornaments that were often worn by women in ancient Israel. These pendants were typically made of precious metals or stones and were a symbol of wealth and status. In the context of Isaiah 3, these adornments represent the vanity and pride of the people, who have placed their trust in material possessions rather than in God. The mention of pendants serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of earthly treasures and the importance of seeking spiritual riches.

bracelets
The term "bracelets" comes from the Hebrew word "tsemidim," which denotes bands or chains worn around the wrist. In ancient cultures, bracelets were not only decorative but also served as indicators of social standing and personal identity. The presence of bracelets in this verse highlights the emphasis on external appearances and the societal focus on outward beauty. From a conservative Christian perspective, this serves as a caution against prioritizing physical adornment over inner spiritual beauty, as emphasized in 1 Peter 3:3-4, which encourages believers to cultivate a gentle and quiet spirit.

and veils
The word "veils" is translated from the Hebrew "redidim," referring to coverings worn over the head or face. Veils were common in ancient Near Eastern cultures and often signified modesty, respect, or mourning. In Isaiah 3, the mention of veils alongside other adornments underscores the superficiality and pretense of the people, who are more concerned with outward appearances than with their spiritual condition. This serves as a call to authenticity and humility before God, reminding believers that true beauty is found in a heart devoted to Him.

(19) The chains.--Better, as in Judges 8:26, where they are also ornaments of Midianite kings, earrings. These and the "bracelets "were probably of gold. The "mufflers" were the long flowing veil, or mantilla, worn so as to cover the head, as now in Spain, or Egypt, or Turkey.

Verse 19. - The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers; rather, the ear-drops, and the armlets, and the veils. Earrings were worn from very ancient times by both the Assyrians and the Egyptians. The ring had frequently a pendant hanging from it. Men wore armlets in Assyria, and both men and women in Egypt (Lepsius, 'Denktamer,' pt. 3. pl. 1). Veils have always been regarded in the East as almost a necessary part of female attire.
