21 What will you say when they set as head over you
    those whom you yourself have taught to be friends to you?
(A)Will not pangs take hold of you
    like those of a woman in labor?
22 And if you say in your heart,
    (B)‘Why have these things come upon me?’
it is for the greatness of your iniquity
    that (C)your skirts are lifted up
    and you suffer violence.
23 (D)Can the Ethiopian change his skin
    or (E)the leopard his spots?
Then also you can do good
    who are accustomed to do evil.
