For the LORD's flock shall be carried away captive. 18 Tell the king and the rulers, "Humble yourselves, set you down low, for the crown of your glory shall fall from your head." 19 The cities toward the south shall be shut up, and no man shall open them. All Judah shall be carried away captive, so that none shall remain.
