Jeremiah 22:20-23
Holman Christian Standard Bible
20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out;
raise your voice in Bashan;
cry out from Abarim,(A)
for all your lovers[a] have been crushed.(B)
21 I spoke to you when you were secure.
You said, “I will not listen.”
This has been your way since youth;(C)
indeed, you have never listened to Me.
22 The wind will take charge of[b] all your shepherds,
and your lovers[c] will go into captivity.
Then you will be ashamed and humiliated(D)
because of all your evil.
23 You residents of Lebanon,
nestled among the cedars,
how you will groan[d] when labor pains come on you,
agony like a woman in labor.(E)

Jeremiah 22:20-23
Lexham English Bible
20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
and in Bashan lift up your voice,
and cry out from Abarim,
for all your lovers are shattered.
21 I spoke to you in the times you were secure,[a]
and you said, ‘I will not listen!’
This was your way from your youth,
for you have not obeyed my voice.
22 All your shepherds will shepherd the wind,
and your lovers will go into captivity.
Yes, then you will be ashamed and humiliated
because of all your wickedness.
23 Inhabitants[b] of Lebanon,
nestled among the cedars,
how you will groan when labor pains come to you,
fear and pain as the woman who gives birth.
