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
International Standard Version
22 When you say to yourselves,
‘Why have all these things happened to me?’
It’s because of the extent of your iniquity
that your skirt has been lifted up,
and your heels have suffered violence.[a]
23 Can an Ethiopian change his skin,
or a leopard his spots?
Then you who are trained to do evil
will also be able to do good.
24 I’ll scatter them like chaff
blown away by a desert wind.
25 “This is your fate,
the portion I’ve measured out for you,”
declares the Lord,
“because you have forgotten me
and have trusted in false gods.[b]
26 I’ll also pull your skirt up over your face,
so your shame will be seen,
27 I’ve seen your detestable behavior:
your adulteries, your passionate neighing,
your lewd immorality on the hills in the field.
How terrible it will be for you, Jerusalem!
You are unclean. How much longer will this go on?”
