Jeremiah 13:22-24

New International Version

²² And if you ask yourself,
    “Why has this happened to me?”^(A)—
it is because of your many sins^(B)
    that your skirts have been torn off^(C)
    and your body mistreated.^(D)
23 Can an Ethiopian^[a] change his skin
    or a leopard its spots?
Neither can you do good
    who are accustomed to doing evil.^(E)

²⁴ “I will scatter you like chaff^(F)
    driven by the desert wind.^(G)
