20 ‘Go up to Lebanon and cry aloud.[a]
    Shout loudly in Bashan.
    Cry aloud from the mountains of Moab.
The nations that were your lovers
    have lost their power.
21 When you were feeling strong and safe,
    I warned you that this would happen.
But you said, “I refuse to listen to you.”
You have been like that since you were young.
    You have never obeyed me.
22 Your leaders will all disappear,
    as if a strong wind had blown them away.
Enemies will take your friends away as prisoners.
Then you will feel very ashamed,
    because of all the wicked things that you have done.
