Jeremiah 13:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ What will you say when he sets over you—
    and you have taught them—allies as head over you?
Will not labor pains take hold of you,
    like a woman giving birth?
²² And if you say in your heart,
    ‘Why have these things happened to me?’
Because of the greatness of your iniquity your skirts are uncovered;
    your heels have endured violence.
²³ Can a Cushite change his skin,
    or a leopard his spots?
Then you also will be able to do good,
    who are accustomed to doing evil.
