19The cities of the south have been shut up, And there is none opening, Judah hath been removed -- all of her, She hath been removed completely --
20Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north, Where [is] the drove given to thee, thy beautiful flock?
21What dost thou say, when He looketh after thee? And thou -- thou hast taught them [to be] over thee -- leaders for head? Do not pangs seize thee as a travailing woman?
22And when thou dost say in thy heart, `Wherefore have these met me?` For the abundance of thine iniquity Have thy skirts been uncovered, Have thy heels suffered violence.
23Doth a Cushite change his skin? and a leopard his spots? Ye also are able to do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
24And I scatter them as stubble, Passing away, by a wind of the wilderness.
25This [is] thy lot, the portion of thy measures from Me -- an affirmation of Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, And dost trust in falsehood.
