Jeremiah 13:20-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Lift up your eyes and see
those who come from the north.
Where is the flock that was given you,
your beautiful flock?(A)
21 What will you say when they set as head over you
those whom you have trained
to be your allies?
Will not pangs seize you
like those of a woman in labor?(B)
Jeremiah 13:20-21
New Living Translation
20 Open up your eyes and see
the armies marching down from the north!
Where is your flock—
your beautiful flock—
that he gave you to care for?
21 What will you say when the Lord takes the allies you have cultivated
and appoints them as your rulers?
Pangs of anguish will grip you,
like those of a woman in labor!
