Jeremiah 13:20-22

Living Bible

²⁰ See the armies marching from the north! Where is your flock, Jerusalem,^[a] your beautiful flock he gave you to take care of? ²¹ How will you feel when he sets your allies over you as your rulers? You will writhe in pain like a woman having a child. ²² And if you ask yourself, Why is all this happening to me? It is because of the grossness of your sins; that is why you have been raped and destroyed by the invading army.
