It's clear that this is a Divine injunction from God for those who are flirting with the idea to live a promiscuous lifestyle and 'live their best lives' to take heed and avoid becoming like these women. It's sad that they will amount to nothing more than a stark example of what a decent human being shouldn't be like.
This fall from grace doesn't have a good ending. It will stick with them for the rest of their lives. They will carry this burden until the day they die. They could repent to their Lord and He is Merciful. But mankind isn't merciful.
Actions have consequences.
