Jeremiah 13:21-23
New King James Version
Jeremiah 13:21-23
New King James Version
21 What will you say when He punishes you?
For you have taught them
To be chieftains, to be head over you.
Will not (A)pangs seize you,
Like a woman in [a]labor?
22 And if you say in your heart,
(B)“Why have these things come upon me?”
For the greatness of your iniquity
(C)Your skirts have been uncovered,
Your heels [b]made bare.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots?
Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil.
