21 I spoke to you in the times you were secure,[a]
    and you said, ‘I will not listen!’
This was your way from your youth,
    for you have not obeyed my voice.
22 All your shepherds will shepherd the wind,
    and your lovers will go into captivity.
Yes, then you will be ashamed and humiliated
    because of all your wickedness.
23 Inhabitants[b] of Lebanon,
    nestled among the cedars,
how you will groan when labor pains come to you,
    fear and pain as the woman who gives birth.
