Jeremiah 13:23
World English Bible (WEB)
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
In context
21 What will you say when he sets over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Won’t sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
22 If you say in your heart, “Why have these things come on me?” Your skirts are uncovered because of the greatness of your iniquity, and your heels suffer violence.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
24 “Therefore I will scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
25 This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,” says the LORD, “because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.”
