Jeremiah 22:21-23
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
21 I spoke to thee in thy properity: and thou saidst: I will not hear: this hath been thy way from thy youth, because thou hast not heard my voice.
22 The wind shall feed all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: and then shalt thou be confounded, and ashamed of all thy wickedness.
23 Thou that sittest in Libanus, and makest thy nest in the cedars, how hast thou mourned when sorrows came upon thee, as the pains of a woman in labour?

Jeremiah 22:21-23
New International Version
21 I warned you when you felt secure,(A)
but you said, ‘I will not listen!’
This has been your way from your youth;(B)
you have not obeyed(C) me.
22 The wind(D) will drive all your shepherds(E) away,
and your allies(F) will go into exile.
Then you will be ashamed and disgraced(G)
because of all your wickedness.
23 You who live in ‘Lebanon,[a](H)’
who are nestled in cedar buildings,
how you will groan when pangs come upon you,
pain(I) like that of a woman in labor!
