Jeremiah 13:20-21

New Century Version

²⁰ Jerusalem, look up and see
    the people coming from the north.
Where is the flock God gave you to care for,
    the flock you bragged about?
²¹ What will you say when they appoint as your heads
    those you had thought were your friends?
Won’t you have much pain and trouble,
    like a woman giving birth to a baby?
