Jeremiah 13:21-23
New International Version
Jeremiah 13:21-23
New International Version
21 What will you say when the Lord sets over you
those you cultivated as your special allies?(A)
Will not pain grip you
like that of a woman in labor?(B)
22 And if you ask yourself,
“Why has this happened to me?”(C)—
it is because of your many sins(D)
that your skirts have been torn off(E)
and your body mistreated.(F)
23 Can an Ethiopian[a] change his skin
or a leopard its spots?
Neither can you do good
who are accustomed to doing evil.(G)
