Jeremiah 13:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ What wilt thou say when he shall visit thee? for thou hast taught them against thee, and instructed them against thy own head: shall not sorrows lay hold on thee, as a woman in labour?

²² And if thou shalt say in thy heart: Why are these things come upon me? For the greatness of thy iniquity, thy nakedness is discovered, the soles of thy feet are defiled.

²³ If the Ethiopian can change his skin, or the leopard his spots: you may also do well, when you have learned evil.
