Jeremiah 22:20-23

Expanded Bible

²⁰ “Judah, go up to Lebanon and cry out.
    Let your voice be heard in Bashan.
Cry out from Abarim,
    because all your friends are destroyed!
²¹ When you [^CJudah] were ·successful [prosperous], I warned you,
    but you said, ‘I won’t listen.’
·You have acted like this [^LThis is your way/path] since you were young;
    you have not ·obeyed me [^Llistened to my voice].
²² ·Like a storm, my punishment will blow all your shepherds away [^LThe wind will shepherd all your shepherds away]
    and send your ·friends [or lovers] into ·captivity [exile; 2 Kin. 23:36—24:7].
Then you will really be ashamed and ·disgraced [humiliated]
    because of all the ·wicked things [evil] you did.
²³ You [^CKing Jehoiakim] live in Lebanon [^Cthe palace was made of cedar from Lebanon],
    ·cozy [nestled] in your rooms of cedar.
But when your ·punishment [^Lpangs] comes, how you will groan
    like a woman ·giving birth to a baby [in labor]!
