Yirmeyahu 13:20-27 ירמיהו י״ג:כ׳-כ״ז

Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?

What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be thy captains, as chief over thee: shall not pangs take hold of thee, as a woman in travail?

And if thou say in thy heart, Why come these things upon me? For the greatness of thy iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels made bare.

Can the Kushite change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.

This is thy lot, the portion I have measured out to thee, says the Lord; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

Therefore will I strip thy skirts about thy face, that thy shame may be seen.

I have seen thy adulteries, and thy neighings, thy disgusting harlotry, and thy abominable idols on the hills in the field. Woe to thee, O Yerushalayim! wilt thou not be made clean? How much longer will it be?
