Context
20Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where the flock was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
21What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them captains, as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
22And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, thy heels made bare.
23Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
25This thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.
