Jeremiah 13:21–24
21 What will you say when he appoints
close friends as leaders over you,
ones you yourself trained?
Won’t labor pains seize you,o
as they do a woman in labor?
“Why have these things happened to me?”
it is because of your great guiltp
that your skirts have been stripped off,q
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,a
you who are instructed in evil.
24 I will scatter youB like drifting chaffb
before the desert wind.
