Jeremias 13:21-27 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

24. And I will scatter them as stubble, which is carried away by the wind in the desert.

25. This is thy lot, and the portion of thy measure from me, saith the Lord, because thou hast forgotten me, and hast trusted in falsehood.

26. Wherefore I have also bared my thighs against thy face, and thy shame hath appeared.

27. I have seen thy adulteries, and thy neighing, the wickedness of thy fornication: and thy abominations, upon the hills in the field. Woe to thee, Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean after me: how long yet?
