Jeremiah 13:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² You might ask yourself,
    “Why has this happened to me?”
It happened because of your many sins.
    Because of your sins, your skirt was torn off
    and your body has been treated badly.
²³ A black man from Cush cannot change the color of his skin.
    A leopard cannot change his spots.
In the same way, Jerusalem, you cannot change and do good.
    You always do evil.
