22 If you asay in your heart,
‘bWhy have these things happened to me?’
Because of the cmagnitude of your iniquity
dYour skirts have been uncovered
And your heels have suffered violence.
23 aCan the Ethiopian change his skin
Or the leopard his spots?
Then you also can bdo good
Who are accustomed to doing evil.
24 Therefore I will ascatter them like chaff passing away
Into the wilderness bwind.
25 This is your alot, the portion measured to you
From Me,” declares Yahweh,
“Because you have bforgotten Me
And trusted in lies.
26 So I Myself have also astripped your skirts off over your face,
That your disgrace may be seen.
27 As for your aadulteries and your lustful neighings,
The blewdness of your prostitution
On the chills in the field,
I have seen your detestable things.
Woe to you, O Jerusalem!
dHow long will you not cleanse yourself?”
