Jeremiah 13:15-20
English Standard Version
Exile Threatened
15 Hear and give ear; be not proud,
for the Lord has spoken.
16 (A)Give glory to the Lord your God
(B)before he brings darkness,
before your feet stumble
on the twilight mountains,
and (C)while you look for light
he turns it into gloom
and makes it (D)deep darkness.
17 But if you will not listen,
(E)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.
18 Say to (F)the king and (G)the queen mother:
“Take a lowly seat,
for (H)your beautiful crown
has come down from your head.”
19 (I)The cities of the Negeb are shut up,
with none to open them;
all Judah is taken into exile,
wholly taken into exile.
20 “Lift up your eyes (J)and see
those who come from the north.
Where is the flock that was given you,
your beautiful flock?
