Context of Jeremiah 13:24

22And if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, [and] thy heels have suffered violence. 23Can an Ethiopian change his skin, or a leopard his spots? [Then] may ye also do good, who are accustomed to do evil. And I will scatter them as stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. 25This shall be thy lot, thy measured portion from me, saith Jehovah; because thou hast forgotten me, and confided in falsehood. 26Therefore will I also turn thy skirts over thy face, and thy shame shall be seen.
