Jeremiah 13:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the North: where is the [a]flock that was given thee, even thy beautiful flock?
21 What wilt thou say when he shall visit thee? (for thou hast [b]taught them to be captains and as chief over thee) shall not sorrow take thee as a woman in travail?
22 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the multitude of thine iniquities are thy skirts [c]discovered and thy heels made bare.

Jeremiah 13:20-22
New International Version
20 Look up and see
those who are coming from the north.(A)
Where is the flock(B) 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?(C)
Will not pain grip you
like that of a woman in labor?(D)
22 And if you ask yourself,
“Why has this happened to me?”(E)—
it is because of your many sins(F)
that your skirts have been torn off(G)
and your body mistreated.(H)
