Jeremiah 13:22-27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 And if you say in your heart,
“Why have these things come upon me?”
it is for the greatness of your iniquity
that your skirts are lifted up
and you are violated.(A)
23 Can Cushites change their skin
or leopards their spots?
Then also you can do good,
who are accustomed to do evil.(B)
24 I will scatter you[a] like chaff
driven by the wind from the desert.(C)
25 This is your lot,
the portion I have measured out to you, says the Lord,
because you have forgotten me
and trusted in lies.(D)
26 I myself will lift up your skirts over your face,
and your shame will be seen.(E)
27 I have seen your abominations,
your adulteries and neighings, your shameless prostitutions
on the hills of the countryside.
Woe to you, O Jerusalem!
How long will it be
before you are made clean?(F)
