Verse 9
Isaiah 3:9
Bible in Basic English
9
Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.

The acknowledgment of their faces answered them, and their sin was revealed like Sodom; they did not hide it. Woe to their souls, for they have dealt wickedly with them.
