Jeremiah 13:21-23
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Future of Jerusalem
21 What will you say when associates whom you yourself have taught are appointed as masters over you? Won’t pain seize you like a woman in labor? 22 If you ask yourself, “Why has this happened to me?” you should know that it is because of your great guilt that your skirt has been torn off, and you have been violated.
23 Can an Ethiopian[a] change the color of his skin?
Can a leopard change its spots?
Just as little can you, who are disciples of evil, do good.
