Jeremiah 13:20

A Message For The King And The Queen Mother

¹⁹ The cities of the Negev are under siege;
no one can help them.
All of Judah has been taken into exile,
taken completely into exile.
²⁰ Look up and see
those coming from the north.
Where is the flock entrusted to you,
the sheep that were your pride? ²¹ What will you say when He appoints
close friends as leaders over you,
ones you yourself trained?
Won’t labor pains seize you,
as they do a woman in labor?
