Jeremiah 13:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷But if you will not listen,
my soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears,
because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.

¹⁸Say to the king and the queen mother:
    “Take a lowly seat,
for your beautiful crown
    has come down from your head.”^[a]
¹⁹The cities of the Negeb are shut up,
    with none to open them;
all Judah is taken into exile,
    wholly taken into exile.
