¹⁷ If you won’t listen,
    I will cry secretly over your arrogance.
    I will cry bitterly, and my eyes will flow with tears
        because Yahweh’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,
    and there will be no one to reopen them.
        All the people of Judah will be taken away into captivity.
