Or the leopard his spots?

Then you as well can do good

Who are accustomed to doing evil.

23Can the Ethiopian change his skin

Or the leopard his spots?

Then you also can do good

Who are accustomed to doing evil.

Or the leopard his spots?

Then you also can do good

Who are accustomed to evil and even trained to do it.

23Can the Ethiopian13:23 Hebrew that Cushite; that is, probably a person from the upper Nile region change his skin,

or the leopard his spots?

Neither are you able to do good —

you who are accustomed to doing evil.

You have always done what is evil.
