Context of Jeremiah 13:25

23Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil. 24“Therefore I will scatter them like stubble That passes away by the wind of the wilderness. This is your lot, The portion of your measures from Me,” says the Lord, “Because you have forgotten Me And trusted in falsehood. 26Therefore I will uncover your skirts over your face, That your shame may appear. 27I have seen your adulteries And your lustful neighings, The lewdness of your harlotry, Your abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! Will you still not be made clean?”
