Jeremiah 22:20-22
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 22:20-22
Contemporary English Version
King Jehoiachin and the People of Jerusalem
The Lord told me to say:
20 People of Jerusalem,
the nations[a] you trusted
have been crushed.
Go to Lebanon and weep;
cry in the land of Bashan
and in Moab.
21 When times were good,
I warned you.
But you ignored me,
just as you have done
since Israel was young.
22 Now you will be disgraced
because of your sins.
Your leaders will be swept away
by the wind,
and the nations you trusted
will be captured and dragged
to a foreign country.

- 22.20 nations: Or “gods.”

Jeremiah 22:20-22
New International Version
20 “Go up to Lebanon and cry out,(A)
let your voice be heard in Bashan,(B)
cry out from Abarim,(C)
for all your allies(D) are crushed.
21 I warned you when you felt secure,(E)
but you said, ‘I will not listen!’
This has been your way from your youth;(F)
you have not obeyed(G) me.
22 The wind(H) will drive all your shepherds(I) away,
and your allies(J) will go into exile.
Then you will be ashamed and disgraced(K)
because of all your wickedness.
