Jeremiah 13:18-27
18Say to the king and to the queen mother: “Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have fallen from your heads.”
19The cities of the Negev have been shut tight,and no one can open them.All Judah has been carried into exile,wholly taken captive.20Lift up your eyes and seethose coming from the north.Where is the flock entrusted to you,the sheep that were your pride?
21What will you say when He sets over youclose allies whom you yourself trained?Will not pangs of anguish grip you,as they do a woman in labor?22And if you ask yourself,“Why has this happened to me?”It is because of the magnitude of your iniquitythat your skirts have been stripped offand your body has been exposed.123Can the Ethiopian2 change his skin,or the leopard his spots?Neither are you able to do good—you who are accustomed to doing evil.
24“I will scatter you like chaffdriven by the desert wind.25This is your lot,the portion I have measured to you,”declares the LORD,“because you have forgotten Meand trusted in falsehood.26So I will pull your skirts up over your face,that your shame may be seen.27Your adulteries and lustful neighings,your shameless prostitutionon the hills and in the fields—I have seen your detestable acts.Woe to you, O Jerusalem!How long will you remain unclean?”
