Jeremiah 22:21-23
Holman Christian Standard Bible
21 I spoke to you when you were secure.
You said, “I will not listen.”
This has been your way since youth;(A)
indeed, you have never listened to Me.
22 The wind will take charge of[a] all your shepherds,
and your lovers[b] will go into captivity.
Then you will be ashamed and humiliated(B)
because of all your evil.
23 You residents of Lebanon,
nestled among the cedars,
how you will groan[c] when labor pains come on you,
agony like a woman in labor.(C)

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