Jeremiah 22:20-23
New International Version
Jeremiah 22:20-23
New International Version
20 “Go up to Lebanon and cry out,(A)
let your voice be heard in Bashan,(B)
cry out from Abarim,(C)
for all your allies(D) are crushed.
21 I warned you when you felt secure,(E)
but you said, ‘I will not listen!’
This has been your way from your youth;(F)
you have not obeyed(G) me.
22 The wind(H) will drive all your shepherds(I) away,
and your allies(J) will go into exile.
Then you will be ashamed and disgraced(K)
because of all your wickedness.
23 You who live in ‘Lebanon,[a](L)’
who are nestled in cedar buildings,
how you will groan when pangs come upon you,
pain(M) like that of a woman in labor!

20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
And raise your voice in Bashan;
Cry out also from (A)Abarim,
For all your (B)lovers have been crushed.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity;
But (C)you said, ‘I will not listen!’
(D)This has been your way (E)from your youth,
That you have not obeyed My voice.
22 The wind will sweep away all your (F)shepherds,
And your (G)lovers will go into captivity;
Then you will certainly be (H)ashamed and humiliated
Because of all your wickedness.
23 You who live in Lebanon,
Nested in the cedars,
How you will groan when sharp pains come on you,
(I)Pain like a woman in childbirth!

Jeremiah 22:20-23
King James Version
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.
22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
