Jeremiah 13:21-27 - The Destiny Of Jerusalem
21 What will you say when God makes the people you thought were your friends your new masters? Will pain grip you like a woman in labor? 22 If you ask yourself: 'Why do these things happen to me?' It is because you have so many sins. Your clothes have been torn off and your limbs are bare. 23 Can Ethiopians change the color of their skin or leopards change their spots? Can you do good when you are taught to do wrong? 24 I will scatter you like straw that is blown away by a desert wind. 25 This is your fate, the destiny I have planned for you, proclaims Jehovah. You have forgotten me and trusted in false gods. 26 I will also tear off your clothes, and expose your shame. 27 I have seen you commit adultery and scream with delight. I have seen you act like a brazen prostitute on the hills and in the fields. How hideous it will be for you, Jerusalem! Will you ever be clean?
