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?”
