Jeremiah 13:21-23
New International Version - UK
21 What will you say when the Lord sets over you
those you cultivated as your special allies?
Will not pain grip you
like that of a woman in labour?
22 And if you ask yourself,
‘Why has this happened to me?’–
it is because of your many sins
that your skirts have been torn off
and your body ill-treated.
23 Can an Ethiopian[a] change his skin
or a leopard its spots?
Neither can you do good
who are accustomed to doing evil.
