24 “I will scatter you like chaff that is blown away by the desert wind.
25 This is what will happen to you;this is your part in my plans,” says the Lord.“Because you forgot meand trusted in false gods,
26 I will pull your skirts up over your faceso everyone will see your shame.
27 I have seen the terrible things you have done:your acts of adultery and your snorting,your prostitution,your hateful actson the hills and in the fields.How terrible it will be for you, Jerusalem.How long will you continue being unclean?”
