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.
²³ You live safely in beautiful houses
    that are made from Lebanon's cedar wood.
But when I punish you, you will cry out with pain.
    You will feel pain like a woman who is having a baby.’
