Jeremiah 13:17-19
Lexham English Bible
17 But if you will not listen to it,
my inner self[a] will weep in secret places,
because of the presence of[b] your pride.
And my eyes[c] will weep bitterly,
and they will melt in tears,
because the flock of Yahweh has been taken captive.
A Message for the King and the Queen Mother
18 “Say to the king and to the queen mother, ‘Take a lower seat,[d]
for your beautiful crown[e] has come down from your head.’[f]
19 The towns of the Negev are shut up,
and there is no one who opens them.[g]
All of Judah is deported;
it is deported in completeness.
