Jeremiah 13:15-20 - The Lord's Warning
15 Listen, give heed and do not be haughty (arrogant). Jehovah has spoken. 16 Give glory to Jehovah your God before he brings darkness and before your feet stumble on the dusky mountains. You hope for light. He makes it into deep darkness and turns it into gloom. 17 If you will not listen, I will cry secretly over your arrogance. I will cry bitterly, and my eyes will flow with tears because Jehovah's flock will be taken captive.
18 Say to the king and his mother: Come down from your thrones, because your crowns have fallen off your heads. 19 The cities in the Negev will be locked up. There will be no one to reopen them. All the people of Judah will be taken away into captivity. 20 Look up, and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you? Where are your beautiful sheep?
