Jeremiah 22:20-23
Authorized (King James) Version
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry;
and lift up thy voice in Bashan,
and cry from the passages:
for all thy lovers are destroyed.
21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity;
but thou saidst, I will not hear.
This hath been thy manner from thy youth,
that thou obeyedst not my voice.
22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors,
and thy lovers shall go into captivity:
surely then shalt thou be ashamed
and confounded for all thy wickedness.
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon,
that makest thy nest in the cedars,
how gracious shalt thou be
when pangs come upon thee,
the pain as of a woman in travail!
Jeremiah 22:20-23
21st Century King James Version
20 “Go up to Lebanon and cry, and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the Abarim; for all thy lovers are destroyed.
21 I spoke unto thee in thy prosperity, but thou saidst, ‘I will not hear.’ This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not My voice.
22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail?
