Context of Jeremiah 13:25

23Can the Cushite change his skin, or a leopard his spots? If so, you might be able to do what is good, you who are instructed in evil. 24I will scatter you like drifting chaff before the desert wind. This is your lot, what I have decreed for you — this is the Lord’s declaration — because you have forgotten me and trusted in lies. 26I will pull your skirts up over your face so that your shame might be seen. 27Your adulteries and your lustful neighing, your depraved prostitution on the hills, in the fields — I have seen your abhorrent acts. Woe to you, Jerusalem! You are unclean — for how long yet?
