Jeremiah 13:22-24

Lexham English Bible

²² And if you say in your heart,
    ‘Why have these things happened to me?’
Because of the greatness of your iniquity your skirts are uncovered;
    your heels have endured violence.
²³ Can a Cushite change his skin,
    or a leopard his spots?
Then you also will be able to do good,
    who are accustomed to doing evil.
²⁴ And I will scatter them
    like stubble scattered by the wind of the desert.^[a]
