Jeremiah 13:18-27 - A Message For The King And The Queen Mother
18 Say to the king and to the mistress, Humble yourselves, sit down: for the crown of your glory was brought down from your heads. 19 The cities of the south were shut up and none opened: Judah was carried away captive, it was all carried away captive, the whole of them. 20 Lift up your eyes and see them coming from the north: where the flock given to thee, the sheep of thy glory?
21 What wilt thou say when he shall review upon thee? and thou didst teach them the chiefs for head over thee: shall not pains lay hold of thee as a woman bringing forth? 22 And if thou shalt say in thy heart, Wherefore did these things befal me? for the multitude of thine iniquities thy skirts were uncovered, thy heel treated with violence. 23 Will the Cushite change his skin and the panther his variegated spots? Ye shall also be able to do good, being taught to do evil. 24 And I will scatter them as the straw passing away by the wind of the desert. 25 This thy lot and the portion of thy measure from me, says Jehovah; because thou didst forget me and thou wilt trust in falsehood. 26 And also I uncovered thy skirts upon thy face and thy dishonor was seen. 27 Thine adulteries and thy neighings, the purpose of thy harlotry upon the hills, in the field, I saw thine abominations. Wo to thee, O Jerusalem thou wilt not be cleansed after me; how long yet?
