Jeremiah 22:20-23
English Standard Version
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!”
Jeremiah 22:20-23
Common English Bible
20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
lift up your voice in Bashan,
cry out from Abarim,
because all your lovers have been ravished.
21 I spoke to you when you felt safe and secure,
but you said, “I won’t listen.”
You have been that way since your youth:
not listening to a word I say.
22 Your shepherds will be tossed to the wind,
your lovers taken off to exile.
Then you will be embarrassed and humiliated
by all your wickedness.
23 You who live in Lebanon,
nestled in cedar,
who will pity you[a]
when you are overcome in pain,
like that of childbirth?
