Jeremiah 13:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 If you say to yourself:
“Why have these things happened to me?”
For your great guilt your skirts are stripped away
and you are violated.(A)
23 Can Ethiopians change their skin,
leopards their spots?
As easily would you be able to do good,
accustomed to evil as you are.(B)
24 I will scatter them like chaff that flies
on the desert wind.(C)
