Jeremiah 13:25-27
EasyEnglish Bible
25 That is how I have decided to punish you.
It is what you deserve
because you have forgotten me.
You have trusted in false gods.
26 So I will cause you to be very ashamed,
like a woman whose dress they have removed.
27 People of Jerusalem,
you are in terrible trouble!
I have seen the disgusting things that you do.
You are like a woman who has not been faithful to her husband.
Like a prostitute, you look for other gods to serve.
You cannot control yourselves,
as you do disgusting things on the hills and in the fields.
Will you never be clean and pure again?’[a]

New International Version
25 This is your lot,
the portion(A) I have decreed for you,”
declares the Lord,
“because you have forgotten(B) me
and trusted in false gods.(C)
26 I will pull up your skirts over your face
that your shame may be seen(D)—
27 your adulteries and lustful neighings,
your shameless prostitution!(E)
I have seen your detestable acts
on the hills and in the fields.(F)
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
How long will you be unclean?”(G)
