Context of Jeremiah 13:25

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. That is how I have decided to punish you. It is what you deserve because you have forgotten me. You have trusted in false gods. 26So I will cause you to be very ashamed, like a woman whose dress they have removed. 27People of Jerusalem, you are in terrible trouble! I have seen the disgusting things that you do. You are like a woman who has not been faithful to her husband. Like a prostitute, you look for other gods to serve. You cannot control yourselves, as you do disgusting things on the hills and in the fields. Will you never be clean and pure again?’
