Jeremiah 13:23-25

23You have done evil things for a long time. So you cannot now start to do good things. Can anyone change the colour of his skin? Can a leopard remove the marks on its body? No! And you cannot change yourselves either.’

24The Lord says, ‘I will blow you away, as a hot desert wind blows away straw.

25That is how I have decided to punish you. It is what you deserve because you have forgotten me. You have trusted in false gods.
