Jeremiah 13:22-27
New International Version
Jeremiah 13:22-27
New International Version
22 And if you ask yourself,
“Why has this happened to me?”(A)—
it is because of your many sins(B)
that your skirts have been torn off(C)
and your body mistreated.(D)
23 Can an Ethiopian[a] change his skin
or a leopard its spots?
Neither can you do good
who are accustomed to doing evil.(E)
24 “I will scatter you like chaff(F)
driven by the desert wind.(G)
25 This is your lot,
the portion(H) I have decreed for you,”
declares the Lord,
“because you have forgotten(I) me
and trusted in false gods.(J)
26 I will pull up your skirts over your face
that your shame may be seen(K)—
27 your adulteries and lustful neighings,
your shameless prostitution!(L)
I have seen your detestable acts
on the hills and in the fields.(M)
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
How long will you be unclean?”(N)

Jeremiah 13:22-27
King James Version
Jeremiah 13:22-27
King James Version
22 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
25 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the Lord; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.
27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?
