Jeremiah 13:20-21
New Living Translation
20 Open up your eyes and see
the armies marching down from the north!
Where is your flock—
your beautiful flock—
that he gave you to care for?
21 What will you say when the Lord takes the allies you have cultivated
and appoints them as your rulers?
Pangs of anguish will grip you,
like those of a woman in labor!
Jeremiah 13:20-21
International Standard Version
20 “Look up and see those who are coming from the north.
Where is the flock that was given to you—
your beautiful sheep?
21 What will you say when the Lord[a]
appoints over you as your head
those whom you taught to be your allies?[b]
Pain will seize you like that seizing a woman
about to give birth, will it not?
