    Jeremiah 13:18-27

  • Jeremiah 13:18–27

    18   Say to the king and the queen mother:
        “Take a lowly seat,
      for your beautiful crown
        has come down from your head.”
    19   The cities of the Negeb are shut up,
        with none to open them;
      all Judah is taken into exile,
        wholly taken into exile.
    20   “Lift up your eyes and see
        those who come from the north.
      Where is the flock that was given you,
        your beautiful flock?
    21   What will you say when they set as head over you
        those whom you yourself have taught to be friends to you?
      Will not pangs take hold of you
        like those of a woman in labor?
    22   And if you say in your heart,
        ‘Why have these things come upon me?’
      it is for the greatness of your iniquity
        that your skirts are lifted up
        and you suffer violence.
    23   Can the Ethiopian change his skin
        or the leopard his spots?
      Then also you can do good
        who are accustomed to do evil.
    24   I will scatter you like chaff
        driven by the wind from the desert.
    25   This is your lot,
        the portion I have measured out to you, declares the LORD,
      because you have forgotten me
        and trusted in lies.
    26   I myself will lift up your skirts over your face,
        and your shame will be seen.
    27   I have seen your abominations,
        your adulteries and neighings, your lewd whorings,
        on the hills in the field.
      Woe to you, O Jerusalem!
        How long will it be before you are made clean?”
