Jeremiah 13:22-27
New King James Version
22 And if you say in your heart,
(A)“Why have these things come upon me?”
For the greatness of your iniquity
(B)Your skirts have been uncovered,
Your heels [a]made bare.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots?
Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil.
24 “Therefore I will (C)scatter them (D)like stubble
That passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
25 (E)This is your lot,
The portion of your measures from Me,” says the Lord,
“Because you have forgotten Me
And trusted in (F)falsehood.
26 Therefore (G)I will uncover your skirts over your face,
That your shame may appear.
27 I have seen your adulteries
And your lustful (H)neighings,
The lewdness of your harlotry,
Your abominations (I)on the hills in the fields.
Woe to you, O Jerusalem!
Will you still not be made clean?”

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?
