Context of Isaiah 3:10
8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory. 9The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe to their soul! for they have rewarded evil to themselves. Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him : for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11Woe to the wicked! it shall be ill with him : for the reward of his hands shall be given him. 12As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
