Isaiah 3:10

JusticeComfort

8 For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.

9 The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.

11 Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.

12 Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
