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]
25 This is your lot,
    the portion of your measure from me,” declares^[b] Yahweh,
“because you have forgotten me,
    and you have trusted in the lie.
