Jeremiah 13:20

A Message For The King And The Queen Mother

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.
²⁰ “Lift up your eyes and see
Those coming from the north.
Where is the flock that was given you,
Your beautiful sheep?
²¹ “What will you say when He appoints over you—
And you yourself had taught them—
Former companions to be head over you?
Will not pangs take hold of you
Like a woman in childbirth?

Lift Up Your Eyes
