Jeremiah 22:20-23
Legacy Standard Bible
20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
And lift up your voice in Bashan;
Cry out also from (A)Abarim,
For all your (B)lovers have been broken.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity,
But (C)you said, ‘I will not listen!’
(D)This has been your way (E)from your youth,
That you have not listened to My voice.
22 The wind will sweep away all your (F)shepherds,
And your (G)lovers will go into captivity;
Then you will surely be (H)ashamed and feel dishonor
Because of all your evil.
23 You who inhabit Lebanon,
Nested in the cedars,
How you will groan when pangs come upon you,
(I)Pain like a woman in childbirth!
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)
