Got to go work but will be back to address the scriptures you gave. But for now:




4And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

5For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.


This doesn't support no ornaments, it was a time when Israel should have been in mourning. Ornaments/clothing can represents joy/blessing/favor, not something to wear during a mourning time. Even worldly folks don't deck out at a funeral or during tragic times.
