Jeremiah 13:27

Captivity Threatened

26So I will pull your skirts up over your face, that your shame may be seen. 27Your adulteries and lustful neighings, your shameless prostitution on the hills and in the fields— I have seen your detestable acts. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will you remain unclean?”

How long will it be [RHQ] until you are acceptable to me again?”
