Context of Jeremiah 13:25

23Can the Ethiopian change his skin Or the leopard his spots? Then you also can do good Who are accustomed to evil and even trained to do it. 24Therefore I will scatter you like drifting straw [Driven away] by the desert wind. This is your destiny, the portion [of judgment] measured to you From Me,” says the Lord, “Because you have forgotten Me And trusted in [pagan] lies [the counterfeit gods, and the pretense of alliance].” 26“So I Myself will throw your skirts up over your face, That your shame may be exposed [publicly]. 27I have seen your vile and detestable acts, Even your adulteries and your lustful neighings [after idols], And the lewdness of your prostitution On the hills in the fields. Woe (judgment is coming) to you, O Jerusalem! How long will you remain unclean [by ignoring My precepts]?”
