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
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.
