Jeremiah 13:21-23

GOD’S WORD Translation

²¹ What will you say
when God makes the people you thought were your friends
your new masters?
Won’t pain grip you like a woman in labor?
²² If you ask yourself,
“Why do these things happen to me?”
it’s because you have so many sins.
Your clothes have been torn off
and your limbs are bare.
²³ Can Ethiopians change the color of their skin
or leopards change their spots?
Can you do good
when you’re taught to do wrong?
