22 If you (A)say in your heart,
(B)Why have these things happened to me?’
Because of the (C)magnitude of your wrongdoing
(D)Your skirts have been removed
And your [a]heels have suffered violence.
23 (E)Can the Ethiopian change his skin,
Or the leopard his spots?
Then you as well can (F)do good
Who are accustomed to doing evil.
24 Therefore I will (G)scatter them like drifting straw
To the desert (H)wind.
