Jeremiah 13:23 in Context — Jeremiah 13

21 ¿Qué dirás cuando te visitará? porque tú los enseñaste [á ser] príncipes [y] cabeza sobre ti. ¿No te tomarán dolores como á mujer que pare?

22 Cuando dijeres en tu corazón: ¿Por qué me ha sobrevenido esto? Por la enormidad de tu maldad fueron descubiertas tus faldas, fueron desnudos tus calcañares.

23 ¿Mudará el negro su pellejo, y el leopardo sus manchas? Así también podréis vosotros hacer bien, estando habituados á hacer mal.

24 Por tanto yo los esparciré, como tamo que pasa, al viento del desierto.

25 Esta es tu suerte, la porción de tus medidas de parte mía, dice Jehová; porque te olvidaste de mí, y confiaste en la mentira.
