Jeremiah 13:20-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Lift up your eyes and see
those who come from the north.
Where is the flock that was given you,
your beautiful flock?(A)
21 What will you say when they set as head over you
those whom you have trained
to be your allies?
Will not pangs seize you
like those of a woman in labor?(B)
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?
