What Does Isaiah 3:20 Mean?
The list extends to head coverings (bonnets), leg decorations (perhaps ankle bracelets or metal ornaments), headbands, tablets (possibly small perfume or incense containers worn for fragrance), and earrings. The sheer length of the catalogue emphasizes how much of their identity and resources were bound up in these things.
By naming each item, Isaiah shows the comprehensive nature of the judgment. Nothing will be left. Every mark of their refined, decorated, perfumed appearance will be stripped away.
