Jeremiah 13:20-22

New International Version - UK

²⁰ Look up and see
    those who are coming from the north.
Where is the flock that was entrusted to you,
    the sheep of which you boasted?
²¹ What will you say when the Lord sets over you
    those you cultivated as your special allies?
Will not pain grip you
    like that of a woman in labour?
²² And if you ask yourself,
    ‘Why has this happened to me?’–
it is because of your many sins
    that your skirts have been torn off
    and your body ill-treated.
