Isaiah 3:23

_ _ glasses — mirrors of polished metal (Exodus 38:8). But the Septuagint, a transparent, gauze-like, garment.

_ _ hoods — miters, or diadems (Isaiah 62:3; Zechariah 3:5).

_ _ veils — large enough to cover the head and person. Distinct from the smaller veils (“mufflers”) above (Genesis 24:65). Token of woman’s subjection (1 Corinthians 11:10).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 3:16-26.
