Jeremiah 22:20-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
and lift up your voice in Bashan;
cry out from Abarim,
for all your lovers are crushed.(A)
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity,
but you said, “I will not listen.”
This has been your way from your youth,
for you have not obeyed my voice.(B)
22 The wind shall shepherd all your shepherds,
and your lovers shall go into captivity;
then you will be ashamed and dismayed
because of all your wickedness.(C)
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon,
nested among the cedars,
how you will groan[a] when pangs come upon you,
pain as of a woman in labor!

20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
And raise your voice in Bashan;
Cry out also from (A)Abarim,
For all your (B)lovers have been crushed.
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 obeyed My voice.
22 The wind will sweep away all your (F)shepherds,
And your (G)lovers will go into captivity;

Because of all your wickedness.
23 You who live in Lebanon,
Nested in the cedars,
How you will groan when sharp pains come on you,
(I)Pain like a woman in childbirth!
