21. What will you say when they set as head over youthose whom you yourself have taught to be friends to you? Will not pangs take hold of youlike those of a woman in labor?
22. And if you say in your heart, ‘Why have these things come upon me?’it is for the greatness of your iniquitythat your skirts are lifted upand you suffer violence.
23. Can the Ethiopian change his skinor the leopard his spots?Then also you can do goodwho are accustomed to do evil.
