Jeremiah 13:22-27
1599 Geneva Bible
22 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the multitude of thine iniquities are thy skirts [a]discovered and thy heels made bare.
23 Can the black Moor 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 is taken away with the South wind.
25 This is thy portion, and the part of thy measures from me, saith the Lord, because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in lies.
26 Therefore I have also discovered thy skirts upon thy face, [b]that thy shame may appear.
27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy [c]neighings, the filthiness of thy whoredom on the hills in [d]the fields, and thine abominations. [Woe] unto thee, O Jerusalem: wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?
