What does the Bible say about wimple?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible mentions the wimple as an article of fine dress, warning that outward adornment cannot secure God’s favor or shield people from his judgment. In Isaiah 3:22, wimples appear among the luxurious garments of Jerusalem’s proud daughters, whose beauty and status had become occasions for arrogance. The passage does not condemn clothing itself, but exposes the folly of trusting in wealth, fashion, or social display while neglecting humility and righteousness before the Lord. God calls his people to value inner godliness above external splendor, receiving all good things with gratitude and using them modestly, rather than making them idols.
