Jeremiah 13:22-27
Legacy Standard Bible
22 If you (A)say in your heart,
‘(B)Why have these things happened to me?’
Because of the (C)magnitude of your iniquity
(D)Your skirts have been uncovered
And your heels have suffered violence.
23 (E)Can the Ethiopian change his skin
Or the leopard his spots?
Then you also can (F)do good
Who are accustomed to doing evil.
24 Therefore I will (G)scatter them like chaff passing away
Into the wilderness (H)wind.
25 This is your (I)lot, the portion measured to you
From Me,” declares Yahweh,
“Because you have (J)forgotten Me
And trusted in lies.
26 So I Myself have also (K)stripped your skirts off over your face,
That your disgrace may be seen.
27 As for your (L)adulteries and your lustful neighings,
The (M)lewdness of your prostitution
On the (N)hills in the field,
I have seen your detestable things.
Woe to you, O Jerusalem!
(O)How long will you not cleanse yourself?”
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?
