Jeremiah 22:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 The wind shall feed all thy pastors, [a]and thy lovers shall go into captivity: and then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded of all thy wickedness.
23 Thou that dwellest in Lebanon, and makest thy nest in the [b]cedars, how beautiful shalt thou be when sorrows come upon thee, as the sorrow of a woman in travail?
24 As I live, saith the Lord, though [c]Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were the signet of my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence.

Jeremiah 22:22-24
New International Version
22 The wind(A) will drive all your shepherds(B) away,
and your allies(C) will go into exile.
Then you will be ashamed and disgraced(D)
because of all your wickedness.
23 You who live in ‘Lebanon,[a](E)’
who are nestled in cedar buildings,
how you will groan when pangs come upon you,
pain(F) like that of a woman in labor!
24 “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “even if you, Jehoiachin[b](G) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring(H) on my right hand, I would still pull you off.
