Jeremiah 13:22-27
Authorized (King James) Version
22 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me?
For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered,
and thy heels made bare.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble
that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
25 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the Lord;
because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face,
that thy shame may appear.
27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings,
the lewdness of thy whoredom,
and thine abominations on the hills in the fields.
Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem!
wilt thou not be made clean?
when shall it once be?
Jeremiah 13:22-27
American Standard Version
22 And if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore are these things come upon me? for the [a]greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence. 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are [b]accustomed to do evil. 24 Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passeth away, [c]by the wind of the wilderness. 25 This is thy lot, the portion measured unto thee from me, saith Jehovah; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. 26 Therefore will I also uncover thy skirts [d]upon thy face, and thy shame shall appear. 27 I have seen thine abominations, even thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, on the hills in the field. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?
