# Were they ashamed when they practiced abominations?

God uses this question to show his anger that the people were not ashamed of their sins. Alternate translation: "They committed terrible sins, and they were not ashamed." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# they did not know how to blush

"their faces did not even turn red." When a person is ashamed, his face normally turns red. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 6:15](../06/15.md)

# they will fall among the fallen

Here "fall" represents being killed. Alternate translation: "they will be killed along with the others who are killed" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# they will be brought down when they are punished

Here "will be brought down" represents being destroyed. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "I will destroy them when I punish them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
