Jeremiah 13:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ What will you say when people you thought were your friends conquer you and rule over you?^[a] You will be in pain like a woman giving birth. ²² If you ask why all this has happened to you—why your clothes have been torn off and you have been raped—it is because your sin is so terrible. ²³ Can people change the color of their skin, or a leopard remove its spots? If they could, then you that do nothing but evil could learn to do what is right.
