Jeremiah 13:23-25
EasyEnglish Bible

23 You have done evil things for a long time.
    So you cannot now start to do good things.
Can anyone change the colour of his skin?
    Can a leopard remove the marks on its body?
No! And you cannot change yourselves either.’

24 The Lord says,

‘I will blow you away,
    as a hot desert wind blows away straw.
25 That is how I have decided to punish you.
It is what you deserve
    because you have forgotten me.
You have trusted in false gods.
