Jeremiah 13:15-20 - The Lord's Warning

15 Hear ye and give ear; do not be proud: for the LORD has spoken. 16 Give glory to the LORD your God before he causes darkness and before your feet stumble in mountains of darkness, and while ye look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death and makes it gross darkness. 17 But if ye will not hear this, my soul shall weep in secret because of your pride; and weeping bitterly, my eyes shall be undone in tears because the LORD's flock was carried away captive.

18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down in the dust because the crown of your glory has come down off your heads. 19 The cities of the south were shut up, and no one could open them: Judah was carried away captive; all of it, it was completely carried away captive. 20 Lift up your eyes, and behold those that come from the north wind: where is the flock that was given thee, the cattle of thy beauty?
