The bible makes it clear that there is nothing new under the sun, and this why the Holy Scriptures tell the women to adorn themselves in modest apparel. This is for women and men alike, and your are going to wish that you would have dressed like women and men that become holiness. Some of you have said to me, women who dress holy will be raped too. Since you desire to be smart-mouthed about it, you won't even live to tell about it. I see many of you on the streets and in the gyms wearing form fitting clothes that leave little to nothing to the imagination. What you did not give earnest heed to in peace time, you are going to wish that you would have done it during war time. Isaiah 3:16-26
16 Moreover, the Lord said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks and with undisciplined (flirtatious and alluring) eyes, tripping along with mincing and affected gait, and making a tinkling noise with [the anklets on] their feet, 17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the heads of the daughters of Zion [making them bald], and the Lord will cause them to be [taken as captives and to suffer the indignity of being] stripped naked. 18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery of their tinkling anklets, the caps of network, the crescent head ornaments, 19 The pendants, the bracelets or chains, and the spangled face veils and scarfs,
20 The headbands, the short ankle chains [attached from one foot to the other to insure a measured gait], the sashes, the perfume boxes, the amulets or charms [suspended from the ears or neck], 21 The signet rings and nose rings, 22 The festal robes, the cloaks, the stoles and shawls, and the handbags, 23 The hand mirrors, the fine linen [undergarments], the turbans, and the [whole body-enveloping] veils. 24 And it shall come to pass that instead of the sweet odor of spices there shall be the stench of rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and searing [of captives by the scorching heat] instead of beauty. 25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty men in battle. 26 And [Jerusalem’s] gates shall lament and mourn [as those who wail for the dead]; and she, being ruined and desolate, shall sit upon the ground.
Isaiah 4:1-6
1 And in that day [a]seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread and provide our own apparel; only let us be called by your name to take away our reproach [of being unmarried]. 2 In that day the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be excellent and lovely to those of Israel who have escaped. 3 And he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem and for [b]eternal life,
4 After the Lord has washed away the [moral] filth of the daughters of Zion [pride, vanity, haughtiness] and has purged the bloodstains of Jerusalem from the midst of it by the spirit and blast of judgment and by the spirit and blast of burning and sifting. 5 And the Lord will create over the whole site, over every dwelling place of Mount Zion and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a canopy (a defense of divine love and protection). 6 And there shall be a pavilion for shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge and a shelter from storm and from rain.
