Jeremiah 13:18-20

New Catholic Bible

^{18     [a]}Say to the king and the queen mother,
    “Descend from your thrones,
since your glorious crowns
    have fallen from your heads.”
¹⁹ The cities in the Negeb are besieged,
    and no one will be able to offer them relief.
All Judah has been taken into exile;
    every inhabitant has been led away.

²⁰ Lift up your eyes and behold
    those who are coming from the north.
Where is the flock that was entrusted to you,
    the sheep that were your pride?
