In context

19The cities of the Negev have been shut tight, and no one can open them. All Judah has been carried into exile, wholly taken captive.

20Lift up your eyes and see those coming from the north. Where is the flock entrusted to you, the sheep that were your pride?

21What will you say when He sets over you close allies whom you yourself trained? Will not pangs of anguish grip you, as they do a woman in labor?

22And if you ask yourself, “Why has this happened to me?” It is because of the magnitude of your iniquity that your skirts have been stripped off and your body has been exposed.

23Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Neither are you able to do good— you who are accustomed to doing evil.
