Jeremiah 13:19-21

Revised Standard Version

¹⁹The cities of the Negeb are shut up,
with none to open them;
all Judah is taken into exile,
wholly taken into exile.

²⁰“Lift up your eyes and see
    those who come from the north.
Where is the flock that was given you,
    your beautiful flock?
²¹What will you say when they set as head over you
    those whom you yourself have taught
    to be friends to you?
Will not pangs take hold of you,
    like those of a woman in travail?
