Jeremiah's Message about the Fate of Jerusalem

20 People of Jerusalem, go to Lebanon and shout,
    go to the land of Bashan and cry;
call out from the mountains of Moab,
    because all your allies have been defeated.
21 The Lord spoke to you when you were prosperous,
    but you refused to listen.
That is what you've done all your life;
    you never would obey the Lord.
22 Your leaders will be blown away by the wind,
    your allies taken as prisoners of war,
    your city disgraced and put to shame
    because of all the evil you have done.

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.
