³ This is why the showers haven’t come^(A)—
why there has been no spring rain.
You have the brazen look^(B) of a prostitute^[a]
and refuse to be ashamed.^(C)

¹² Were they ashamed when they acted so abhorrently?
They weren’t at all ashamed.
They can no longer feel humiliation.
Therefore, they will fall among the fallen.
When I punish them, they will collapse,”^(A)
says the Lord.
