Jeremiah 13:20-22

20 “Lift up your eyes ^aand 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?
^bWill not pangs take hold of you
like those of a woman in labor?
22 And if you say in your heart,
^c‘Why have these things come upon me?’
it is for the greatness of your iniquity
that ^dyour skirts are lifted up
and you suffer violence.
