Jeremiah 13:18

Hear, and give ear.

Don’t be proud,

for the LORD has spoken.

Give glory to the LORD your God,

before he causes darkness,

and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains,

and while you look for light,

he turns it into the shadow of death,

and makes it deep darkness.

But if you will not hear it,

my soul will weep in secret for your pride.

My eye will weep bitterly,

and run down with tears,

because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.

The cities of the South are shut up,

and there is no one to open them.

Judah is carried away captive: all of them.

They are wholly carried away captive.

Lift up your eyes,

and see those who come from the north.

Where is the flock that was given to you,

your beautiful flock?

What will you say when he sets over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you?

Won’t sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
