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)

Jeremiah 13:22-27
Holman Christian Standard Bible
22 And when you ask yourself,
“Why have these things happened to me?”
It is because of your great guilt(A)
that your skirts have been stripped off,(B)
your body exposed.[a]
23 Can the Cushite change his skin,
or a leopard his spots?
If so, you might be able to do what is good,(C)
you who are instructed in evil.
24 I will scatter you[b] like drifting chaff(D)
before the desert wind.
25 This is your lot,
what I have decreed for you—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
because you have forgotten Me
and trusted in Falsehood.[c](E)
26 I will pull your skirts up over your face
so that your shame might be seen.(F)
27 Your adulteries and your lustful neighing,(G)
your heinous prostitution
on the hills, in the fields—
I have seen your detestable acts.
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
You are unclean—
for how long yet?(H)
