Jeremiah 13:18

A Message For The King And The Queen Mother

¹⁷ But if you will not listen to it,
My soul will sob in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will bitterly weep
And flow down with tears,
Because the flock of the Lord has been taken captive.
¹⁸ Say to the king and the queen mother,
“Take a lowly seat,
For your beautiful crown
Has come down from your head.”
¹⁹ The cities of the Negev have been locked up,
And there is no one to open them;
All Judah has been carried into exile,
Wholly carried into exile.

Humble Yourselves

Beautiful Crown
