How is Jerusalem’s consistent sinning action described?

Lamentations 1:9 (NEG79)

9 La souillure était dans les pans de sa robe, et elle ne songeait pas à sa fin; Elle est tombée d'une manière étonnante, et nul ne la console. Vois ma misère, ô Eternel! Quelle arrogance chez l'ennemi!

Jerusalem’s constant sinning is described by the phrase she took no thought of her future. Jerusalem did not think of the consequences of her consistent sinning. She did not take her future into consideration. She did not care about her covenant responsibility, which was to reflect God’s holiness in daily living. She acted irresponsibly without caring what would happen next. With this attitude, she also did not think that things would turn out as they did.
