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.

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)
