Context of Jeremiah 13:25

23Can the Ethiopian change his skin? Or the leopard his spots? So, could you do good, that are accustomed to doing evil? 24“Therefore I will scatter them like drifting straw in the desert wind. This is your lot, the portion measured for you from Me.” It is a declaration of Adonai. “For you have forgotten Me and trusted in falsehood. 26Therefore I will also uncover your skirts over your face, expose your shame. 27Your adulteries, your lustful neighings, the lewdness of your prostitution— on the hills in the field I have seen your loathsome acts. Oy you, Jerusalem! You are unclean! How much longer?”
