Jeremiah 13:21-23
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 13:21-23
Contemporary English Version
21 You once trusted them to help,
but now I'll let them rule you.[a]
What do you say about that?
You will be in pain
like a woman giving birth.
22 Do you know why
your clothes were torn off
and you were abused?
It was because
of your terrible sins.
23 Can you ever change
and do what's right?
Can people change the color
of their skin,
or can a leopard
remove its spots?
If so, then maybe you can change
and learn to do right.
