For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
3:9 他們的面色證明自己的不正。他們述說自己的罪惡,并不隱瞞,好像所多瑪一樣。他們有禍了。因為作惡自害。

Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
