Jeremiah 22:20-23
World English Bible
20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry.
Lift up your voice in Bashan,
and cry from Abarim;
for all your lovers have been destroyed.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity;
but you said, ‘I will not listen.’
This has been your way from your youth,
that you didn’t obey my voice.
22 The wind will feed all your shepherds,
and your lovers will go into captivity.
Surely then you will be ashamed
and confounded for all your wickedness.
23 Inhabitant of Lebanon,
who makes your nest in the cedars,
how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you,
the pain as of a woman in travail!
Jeremiah 22:20-23

20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,
and lift up your voice in Bashan;
cry out from (A)Abarim,
for all (B)your lovers are destroyed.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity,
but you said, ‘I will not listen.’
(C)This has been your way from (D)your youth,
that you have not obeyed my voice.
22 (E)The wind shall shepherd all your shepherds,
and (F)your lovers shall go into captivity;
(G)then you will be ashamed and confounded
because of all your evil.
23 O inhabitant of (H)Lebanon,
nested among the cedars,
how you will be pitied when pangs come upon you,
(I)pain as of a woman in labor!”

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!
